How can I insert a ActionLink into a Kendo grid? - kendo-ui

Question

I am trying to get the action link working in this code. Afraid I am an absolute novice so need help desperately.
The link simply has to call a small managing window linked to the UnderwriterID which would be the UserName.
#(Html.Kendo().Grid<QMS.ViewModels.UnderwriterVM>()
.Name("Grid1")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(p => p.PortfolioID).Width(100);
columns.Bound(p => p.UnderwriterID).Width(100);
columns.Bound(p => p.UWName).Width(100);
columns.Bound(p => p.UWLastName).Width(100);
columns.Bound(p => p.PremiumAuthority).Width(100);
columns.Bound(p => p.DiscountAuthority).Width(100);
columns.Bound(p => p.UW_ShortID).Width(100);
columns.Bound(p => p.MaxDiscount).Width(100);
columns.Template(p => #Html.ActionLink("Manage", "ManageUW", new { pfid = ViewBag.PF, uwid = Model.FirstOrDefault().UserName }));
columns.Command(command => { command.Destroy(); }).Width(110);
})
.ToolBar(toolbar =>
{
toolbar.Create();
toolbar.Save();
})
//.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.Scrollable(scr => scr.Height(430))
.Filterable()
.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Batch(true)
.ServerOperation(false)
.Create("Underwriters_Create", "Grid")
.Update("Underwriters_Update", "Grid")
.Destroy("Underwriters_Destroy", "Grid")
.Read("Read_Underwriters", "Grid", new { vPortId = ViewBag.PF} )
.Model(model =>
{
model.Id(p => p.UnderwriterID);
model.Field(p => p.PortfolioID).DefaultValue(ViewBag.PF);
model.Field(p => p.UWName).Editable(true);
model.Field(p => p.UWLastName).Editable(true);
model.Field(p => p.PremiumAuthority).Editable(true);
model.Field(p => p.DiscountAuthority).Editable(true);
}))
)

Answer 1

Here is what my column client templates look like:
columns
.Bound(p => p.UserName)
.Title("")
.Filterable(false)
.Sortable(false)
.Width(103)
.ClientTemplate(Html.ActionLink("<span class=\"k-icon k-i-pencil\"></span>Manage", "ManageUW", "YourController", new { pfid = ViewBag.PF, uwid = "#=UserName#" }, new { #class = "k-button k-button-icontext" }).ToHtmlString());

Try something like this
VB code:
.ClientTemplate(Html.ActionLink("Roles", "UserRolesManage", New With {.UserId = "#=UserId#", .UserLogin = "#=UserLogin#"}).ToHtmlString()
C# code:
.ClientTemplate(#Html.ActionLink("Roles", "UserRolesManage", New {UserId = "#=UserId#", UserLogin = "#=UserLogin#"}).ToHtmlString()
