Show empty cell value for datetime field in Kendo grid?

Question

I am using kendo grid where I have added a column of DateTime type which shows datetime. The problem which I am facing is that if their is no date set then by default it is showing `null` value. What I want is that if no date is set then it should show blank cell value instead of null. I am using `2012.2.710.340` version of kendo. Have declare the field value in class in following way : ``` public DateTime? Time { get; set; } ``` Below is the format I have used in kendo grid to show datetime field in grid : ``` columns.Bound(o => o.Time).Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss}").Title("Time"); ``` I will be thankful if anyone could help me out in solving my problem.

Accepted Answer

I have tried using kendo.tostring in following way:

```
columns.Bound(o => o.Time).ClientTemplate("#= (Time == null) ? ' ' : kendo.toString(Time, 'MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss') #").Title("Time");
```

By applying the above code my problem gets solved but because of this filters in the kendo grid stop working. I want that filters should work inspite of having blank value for datetime field in the grid if datetime is not set.
