adding button on column template of kendo grid - asp.net-mvc-4

Question

I am building an app using MVC using Jquery(KendoGrid) for displaying data, everything was working fine as per requirement, later we planned to add extra column with button present on each row of the grid, sounds simple, but tried number of ways to add into the application, getting error message "undefined 'node' ..... ", so i had no other options rather than posting here, if any one could able to help me in this will be appreciative, and i used column template on jquery kendo grid thanks
scenario
onclick of that button in specified row it should carry "ID(as shown below)" and redirect to "ActionResult" Controller, where I can further code as per my requirement
code(part of the code)
columns: [
{ field: "ID", Title: "ID", filterable: false, sortable: false, hidden: true },
{ field: "RowID", Title: "RowID", filterable: false, sortable: false, hidden: true },
{ field: "BillNumber", Title: "BillNumber", filterable: false, sortable: false,hidden:true },
{ field: "ServiceName", Title: "ServiceName",width:600 },
{ field: "ServiceStatus", Title: "ServiceStatus", width: 150 }
// Creating template column
, {
field: "Action", title: "Is Action", template: "<input type=\"checkbox\" #= Action ? checked='checked' : '' # class=\"check_row\"/> ", editable: false,
// field: "Action",title: "Preview ", template: '<input type="button" class="info" name="info" value="Info" style="height: 26px; margin: 0px 2px; min-width: 64px;" />',
headerTemplate: '<label> <input type="checkbox" id="checkAll"/>Print All</label>', filterable: false, sortable: false, width: 100,
}
currently I am able to generate checkbox in column, what i need is one more column with button(same as checkbox in each row)

Defining a button in a cell is pretty simple... basically you were doing it right.
Example: Define a column as:
columns: [
...
{
title: "Preview ",
template: '<input type="button" class="k-button info" name="info" value="Info" />',
headerTemplate: '<label> <input type="checkbox" id="checkAll"/>Print All</label>',
filterable: false,
sortable: false,
width: 100
}
]
Define the template as an input of type button. If you want it to look like a Kendo UI button add k-button class to it.
Then, you can bind a click handler doing:
$(".info").on("click", function() {
var row = $(this).closest("tr");
var item = grid.dataItem(row);
...
});
Where item contains all the data corresponding to the row that you clicked the button.
Running example here : http://jsfiddle.net/m8fsv/1/
EDIT: If what you need is to control / decide showing one or the other, you should change the template to something like:
<script id="template" type="text/kendo-template">
# if (showButton) { #
<input type="checkbox" #= data.Action ? checked="checked" : "" # class=\"check_row\"/>
# } else { #
<input type="button" class="k-button info" name="info" value="Info" />
# } #
</script>
