Grid Rendering Problem

[dhuss]

I have a radGrid that renders the row cells different, depending on if the cell has data. If the cell has data, then an additional line is rendered on the bottom of the cell, spanning the cell width, when the row is highlighted. The cells without any data do not render this line. This happens if enablealternatingitems is true or false, gridlines on/off. Also, the gridlines will NOT render if they are turned on.  This is my base grid code - minus all the columns. I am using Telerik.web.ui.dll version 2010.1.415.35.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="dgServices" runat="server" Width="99%" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
   CellPadding="0" AllowMultiRowSelection="true" GridLines="Both" ShowFooter="true"  AllowPaging="false">
   <ClientSettings EnableAlternatingItems="true" EnableRowHoverStyle="true" Selecting-AllowRowSelect="true">
       <Scrolling AllowScroll="true" />
   </ClientSettings>
   <PagerStyle Mode="NumericPages" />
   <HeaderStyle Font-Bold="true" />
   <MasterTableView Width="98%" DataKeyNames="ServiceSeq">

 The attached screen shot shows the rendering effect.

I had the "EmptyDataText" set to "". Once this was removed, the formatting was correct.

Hi Team

I need to report an issue. I'm using Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid control in my app. I have some special characters to be rendered in the grid (e.g. ', <, >, \, :, _ etc). When I'm saving these in DB I HTML Encode them. And when rendering back in UI, I HTML Decode them. I found that while HTML Encoding special characters, if there is this combination of characters &# in the encoded string (e.g. for ' [single quote] which becomes &#39;), there is a java script alert message with error "An unknown error occurred while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 500". If I remove this &# in the string from back end then it works fine.

I really need help on this as the special characters are really required in the strings and I cannot go in the entire database remove this &# string combination and thus make the data invalid. Below is more details from the metadata of the control I'm using in my app.

namespace Telerik.Web.UI
{
    [ClientScriptResource("Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid", "Telerik.Web.UI.Grid.RadGridScripts.js")]
    [ControlValueProperty("SelectedValue")]
    [DefaultEvent("NeedDataSource")]
