Hi,

I got one problem of RadGridView with Hierarchy gridview structure.

Configuration:
WPF app for .NET Framework 4
Windows 7 (x64) Professional
Telerik Version: RadControls for WPF Q2 2011 SP1(2011.2.0920)

I show the data to user using the following hierarchy:

RadGridView (Level 1)
+---- RadGridView (Level 2)
+-------------- RadGridView (Level 3)

It works fine in normal data databinding. Three level of gridvews can be shown.
i.e.

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding=

"{Binding Allocation_Amount}"

Header="Amount" TextAlignment="Right" Width="Auto" HeaderTextAlignment="Right">

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

When i add a converter in binding in Level 3 grid, during runtime it shows only the Level 1 grid (the topmost one) with "+" that's not expandable. If i add a converter in binding in Level 1 and Level 2 grid, it also works fine. Three levels expandable grid could be shown.
i.e.

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Allocation_Amount, Converter={StaticResource stringFormat},

ConverterCulture={x:Static glob:CultureInfo.CurrentCulture}, ConverterParameter={}{0:C}}"

Header="Amount" TextAlignment="Right" Width="Auto" HeaderTextAlignment="Right">

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

my xaml code for gridview.

<telerik:RadGridView ShowGroupPanel="False" x:Name="rgvInvoiceList" ItemsSource="{Binding InvoiceList, Mode=OneWay}" IsReadOnly="True">

<telerik:RadGridView.ChildTableDefinitions>

If i use a debugger it shows that i have exception: NullReferenceException that's throwed from GridViewRow.OnIsExpandedChanged.

The error message.
Sysem.NullReferenceException :
    {"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"}

I found a thread that is talking a similar scenario. And you reply that the problem could be fixed by getting the latest version of build.
But it seems that it does not work in my scenario.
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/gridview/nullreferenceexception-in-gridviewrow-onisexpandedchanged.aspx

Any suggestion for my scenario?

Hi Stephen,

Actually, the two issues (the one you have and the one from the forum you mentioned) are not connected.
We are aware that such an exception is raised in certain conditions - if you have similar nested controls, one of which has an event handler and a StaticResource defined. Unfortunately, this is out of our control as it is issue in .Net 4 Framework and not in RadGridView.
Please take a look at this thread for further reference.
