I'm trying to show a model in a WebGrid which has one column with a custom class. Without using the "format:" parameter to customize the column in the WebGrid, can I add something to my custom class (something like a default cast= to show a custom text instead of the full class name in the WebGrid? I tried implicit/explicit conversion operators to string or HtmlString without success... Thanks in advance!

AFAIK you should use a custom format: in the corresponding column.

Yes, I know too... but... I need to remember to use the "format" on each view, while if I add some generic cast to the class, it must be added only one time... much better if I need only text. Also: it will enable sorting for that column... with only using the format, won't be sorted at all. – Marc Baye May 10 '12 at 10:37

I agree with you. You may checkout MVCContrib.Grid or Telerik MVC Grid which have more functionality than the built-in WebGrid. – Darin Dimitrov May 10 '12 at 11:16
