ASP.NET MVC DisplayTemplates should by evaluated and take effect in Grid columns (see: http://www.telerik.com/forums/using-a-displaytemplate). Thus for custom formatting, defining a ClientTemplate() should not be required.
Hi,
As Vladimir pointed in the related forum they are taken into consideration when server binding is used. In the case of Ajax binding ClientTemplates should be defined. Forcing the grid to render the DisplayTemplates in this case would confuse developers as both templates use different syntax to get the binding going.
