NullReferenceException in RadListView with CollectionViewSource

[Justin]

Hello,

I'm hitting a null reference exception when trying to set my ItemsSource to a CollectionViewSource. This same code works when using the built in listview but I'm getting this exception when using the RadListView. Can you please let me know if I'm trying to do something unsupported here?

 Exception:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Data.RadListView.get_ShouldDisplayEmptyContent()
   at Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Data.RadListView.Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Data.ListView.IOrientedParentView.Measure(IGeneratedContainer container, RadSize availableSize)
   at Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Data.ListView.Model.LayoutController.MeasureEmptyContent(RadSize size)
   at Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Data.ListView.Model.LayoutController.Meas

 Code:

<UserControl.Resources>
        <CollectionViewSource x:Name="CvsSections"
                              Source="{Binding Sections}"
                              IsSourceGrouped="True"
                              ItemsPath="Items"/>

    </UserControl.Resources>

<data:RadListView ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource CvsSections}}"/>

Hi Justin,

Thank you for contacting us! Currently, RadListView does not support CollectionViewSource as ItemsSource. We have some ideas of implementing this in future, but we do not have fixed timeframe.

If you are looking for displaying data in groups you can feed the listview with flat IEnumerable and add group descriptors - http://docs.telerik.com/windows-universal/controls/radlistview/features/listview-grouping

Let us know if this helps.
