If condition or for loop in a webgrid - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

I am using this webgrid in my view.
<div class="grid">
#{
var grid = new WebGrid(Model.SearchResults, canPage: true, rowsPerPage: 15);
grid.Pager(WebGridPagerModes.NextPrevious);
#grid.GetHtml(
htmlAttributes: new { #style = "width:100%", cellspacing = "0" },
columns: grid.Columns(
grid.Column(header: "Customer Name", format: (item) => Html.ActionLink((string)item.FullName, "ShowContracts", new { id = item.UserId }, new { #style = "color: 'black'", #onmouseover = "this.style.color='green'", #onmouseout = "this.style.color='black'" })),
grid.Column(header: "SSN", format: item => item.SSN)
))
}
</div>
I search with SSN and display the results in a webgrid. The displayed data is dummy data.
I have a bool AccountVerified in my viewmodel, now I should not give action link to the accounts which are not verified and display text next to them saying account verification pending. Can someone help me on this?

Answer 1

Try the following:
grid.Column(
header: "Customer Name",
format: (item) =>
(bool)item.AccountVerified
? Html.ActionLink(
(string)item.FullName,
"ShowContracts",
new {
id = item.UserId
},
new {
style = "color: 'black'",
onmouseover = "this.style.color='green'",
onmouseout = "this.style.color='black'"
}
)
: Html.Raw("pending")
)
or write a custom HTML helper to avoid this monstrosity and simply:
grid.Column(
header: "Customer Name",
format: item => Html.PendingLink(item)
)
