Telerik MVC custom AJAX editor template

I am using the MVC Telerik controls with the ASP.NET MVC 3 razor view engine. I am struggling with the grid. I initially posted a question but did not find any luck with it. It is here:

Telerik MVC custom AJAX editor template

My view accepts a view model called EditGrantApplicationViewModel. This view has many different types of controls on it. Textboxes, dropdowns and a Telerik grid. The system is an education fund system, and while applying for the loan you have to specify your children's details. So I thought it would be better for the user if I display the children in a grid and then a child can be added via the grid and linked to the Children propery in my view model.

public class EditGrantApplicationViewModel
{
   public int Id { get; set; }
   public string EmployeeNumber { get; set; }
   public string Title { get; set; }
   public string FirstName { get; set; }
   public string LastName { get; set; }
   public IEnumerable<Children> Children { get; set; }
}

I bound the grid to the Children property of t开发者_C百科he view model like such:

@(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.Children)
   .Name("grdChildren")
   .Columns(column =>
   {
      column.Bound(x => x.Id);
      column.Bound(x => x.FullName);
   })
   .DataKeys(keys =>
   {
      keys.Add(x => x.Id);
   })
   .DataBinding(dataBinding =>
   {
      dataBinding.Ajax()
         .Select("_SelectAjaxEditing", "Grid")
         .Insert("_InsertAjaxEditing", "Grid")
         .Update("_SaveAjaxEditing", "Grid")
         .Delete("_DeleteAjaxEditing", "Grid");
   })
   .ToolBar(commands => commands.Insert().ButtonType(GridButtonType.Text))
   .Editable(editing => editing.Mode(GridEditMode.InForm))
)

There reason why I chose an AJAX grid is because when I click insert in the grid then the whole page gets validated. I don't want to add the children to the database here, I just want to add to the Children property.

The issue that I am having is with the editor template. I'm doing inline editing and I want to specify my own editor template because I want to rearrange my controls in this template. How would I create an editor template for EditGrantApplicationViewModel.Children?

I create a partial view called Children.cshtml but it is not being pulled into my grid. I was told to have it use use the Children model, but how would I specify this in the partial view as I can't have something like:

@model MyProject.ViewModels.EditGrantApplicationViewModel.Children

I got an example but I can't get it to work in my scenario.

Am I doing this the right way? What else can be tried?

I got the solution.

The Children property in my view model is a list of Children objects. I created a partial view in /Shared/Editor/Templates called Children.cshtml.

I thought that Children.cshtml should receive the model as such:

@model MyProject.ViewModels.EditGrantApplicationViewModel.Children

which is the property that I specified in @(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.Children) but it should receive the model object that the list is made up of, name the Children object:

@model MyProject.DomainObjects.Children

And now it is being pulled through :)
