gridview - How to add currency attribute to .ClientTemplate -

how can set formatted currency apposed boring int? ($0.00 instead of 0)

columns.bound(o => o.basepremium).title("base prem:").clienttemplate("#= basepremium #" +                     "<input class='k-input k-textbox' type='hidden' name='locations[#= index(data)#].basepremium' value='#= basepremium #' />"                   ).format("{0:c}"); 

the .format @ end doesnt seem trick.

since you're using .clienttemplate disregard .format(). instead use this:

#:kendo.tostring(basepremium, 'c2')# 

which equal $123.45
