Avoid reformating?

[ManniAT]

Hi,

is there a way to avoid the reformating of the source when changing edit modes?

Before my Grid (part) looks like this:

<Columns>
    <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton" ItemStyle-Width="32px" HeaderStyle-Width="32px" />
    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="LanguageCode" HeaderText="LNG" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="LanguageCode" UniqueName="LanguageCode" ItemStyle-Width="33px" HeaderStyle-Width="33px" ItemStyle-Font-Bold="true" />
    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Title" HeaderText="Title" SortExpression="Title" UniqueName="Title" ItemStyle-Width="150px" HeaderStyle-Width="150px" />
    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="TheContent" HeaderText="TheContent" ReadOnly="False" SortExpression="TheContent" UniqueName="TheContent" />
    <telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandName="DoActivate" Text="Aktivieren" ButtonType="PushButton" />
</Columns>

After a switch to design (and back I guess) it looks like this:

<Columns>
                        <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton" ItemStyle-Width="32px" HeaderStyle-Width="32px" >
<HeaderStyle Width="32px"></HeaderStyle>

<ItemStyle Width="32px"></ItemStyle>
                        </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="LanguageCode" HeaderText="LNG" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="LanguageCode" UniqueName="LanguageCode" ItemStyle-Width="33px" HeaderStyle-Width="33px" ItemStyle-Font-Bold="true" >
<HeaderStyle Width="33px"></HeaderStyle>

<ItemStyle Font-Bold="True" Width="33px"></ItemStyle>
                        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Title" HeaderText="Title" SortExpression="Title" UniqueName="Title" ItemStyle-Width="150px" HeaderStyle-Width="150px" >
<HeaderStyle Width="150px"></HeaderStyle>

<ItemStyle Width="150px"></ItemStyle>
                        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="TheContent" HeaderText="TheContent" ReadOnly="False" SortExpression="TheContent" UniqueName="TheContent" />
                        <telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandName="DoActivate" Text="Aktivieren" ButtonType="PushButton" />
                    </Columns>

This behaviour is extremely frustrateing since pages become very "unreadable" after this.

Hello Manfred,

I tested the columns setup, and the columns remained formatted properly.
If the issue persists on your end, you can open a formal support ticket, and send us additional information, such as version/visual studio version and code. You can also send the complete problematic code, in the form of a small working project, for additional testing.  

Sincerely yours,

Hi,

to reproduce I do the following.
Place a grid on the page.
Add some Data Source and assign it to the Grid.
--this generates <telerik:GridBoundColumns
Now I add some "ItemStyle-Width" and "HeaderStyle-Width" to some columns (as attributes).
In the properties Window I change a setting - and the reformating happens!!

Hi,

to keep the things simple (and show an additional issue :)) I made a short video showing this "extra tag".
By the way - the "additional issue" is that grid sometimes does not show it's properties in the properties pane.
After switching to Shared / Design and back to source the properties are visible.
This happens occasionally - sometimes it works for hours - sometimes each "unselect" and select again results in missing properties.

By the way - this was just one property - it becomes (of course) more worse when the are more columns - properties.
And - just found out today - RadFileExplorer does the same thing.
Some Attributes get extended to "inline parameters".

Hello Manfred,

Indeed, this behavior is observed. I have passed this issue along to our developers, and they will soon look into it. Thank you for bringing this discrepancy to our attention.
