Add ActionLink in JqGrid column in ASP.NET MVC 3 Razor - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

I am using jqGrid with ASP.NET MVC 3 and Razor.
I am looking to add 2 columns to the jqGrid along with the rest of the columns.
The columns I want to add are
Edit
Delete
These columns value I want to be ActionLink.
How do I add an ActionLink to a Column of a JqGrid ?
Please guide me on this.
Update 1: with help from #user1534482 I tried this but did not work
colModel: [
...
{ name: 'Open', formatter: 'prepareLinks' },
...
],
function prepareLinks(cellvalue, options, rowObject) {
return "#Html.ActionLink("Open this","Test")";
}
javascript error message :
SyntaxError: missing ; before statement
[Break On This Error]
return "Open this";
SomeController (line 92, col 41)

Answer 1

You should take a look at showlink predefined formatter.
There is no code in your question so I don't know how complex your scenario is, but in general code like this should be enough:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery("#gridId").jqGrid({
colNames: [..., 'Edit', 'Delete'],
colModel: [
...
{name:'EditAction', formatter:'showlink', formatoptions: { baseLinkUrl: '#Url.Action("Edit")' } },
{name:'DeleteAction', formatter:'showlink', formatoptions: { baseLinkUrl: '#Url.Action("Delete")' } }
],
...
});
</script>
The row id will be added automatically (you can control how with idName option). If you need to pass some additional parameters take a look at addParam option in the documentation.
UPDATE
For clarification on how the final link is generated, you can use this formula:
"<a " + ((op.target) ? "target=" + op.target : "") + " href=\"" + op.baseLinkUrl + op.showAction + "?" + op.idName + "=" + rowId + op.addParam + "\">" + cellvalue + "</a>"
Where op is the formatoptions object and cellvalue is the value for the column from data you have pasted to the jqGrid.

Answer 2

u can use ur own formater like
colModel: [
{ name: 'colname', formatter: linkbuilder },
],
and
and add function
function linkbuilder(cellval, opts, rwdat, _act) {
return "#Htm.ActionLink()";
}

Thanks to #tpeczek and #user1534482
I finally got the solution,
colModel: [
...
{ name: 'Open',
formatter: function (cellvalue, options, rowObject) {
return '' + "Open" + '';
}
},
...
],
