Hello all person in forum!

I send a picture. In picture, i write problem error me. You view my code, you will see code of ( string[] strArr ). If I add ( strArr.lengh < 30 ), this code run OK. Else, it will be problem.

Help me fix it ! Thanks all !

Hi laki,

RadGridView  uses virtualization to display its data which means that the visual cells are reused to display different data items. In your case you are binding the grid to an empty data table and you are setting your data to the visual elements which breaks the virtualization logic.

Here is how you can achieve this:

string[] strArr = { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "21", "22", "23", "24", "25", "26", "27", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "A", "B", "C", "D", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "A", "B", "C", "D", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "A", "B", "C", "D", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10" };

private void CreateColumnRow()
{
    DataTable data = new DataTable();
    data.Columns.Add("1");
    data.Columns.Add("2");
    data.Columns.Add("3");
    data.Columns.Add("4");
    data.Columns.Add("5");

    for (int i = 0; i < strArr.Length / 5; i++)
    {
        int startIndex = 5 * i;
        data.Rows.Add(strArr[startIndex], strArr[startIndex + 1], strArr[startIndex + 2], strArr[startIndex + 3], strArr[startIndex + 4]);
    }
    int intSub = strArr.Length % 5;
    if (intSub > 0)
    {
        object[] restItems = new object[intSub];
        int startIndex = strArr.Length - intSub;
        for (int i = startIndex; i < strArr.Length; i++)
        {
            restItems[i - startIndex] = strArr[i];
        }

        DataRow dr = data.NewRow();
        dr.ItemArray = restItems;
        data.Rows.Add(dr);
    }

    radGridView1.DataSource = data;

    radGridView1.Columns[0].Width = 100;
    radGridView1.Columns[1].Width = 100;
    radGridView1.Columns[2].Width = 100;
    radGridView1.Columns[3].Width = 100;
    radGridView1.Columns[4].Width = 100;
}

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);
    radGridView1.CellFormatting += new CellFormattingEventHandler(radGridView1_CellFormatting);
    CreateColumnRow();
}

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (RadElement child in e.CellElement.Children)
    {
        if (child is RadCheckBoxElement)
        {
            e.CellElement.Children.Remove(child);
            child.Dispose();
            break;
        }
    }

    if (e.CellElement.Value != null && e.CellElement.Value.ToString().Length > 0)
    {
        RadCheckBoxElement check = new RadCheckBoxElement();
        check.Name = "check_" + e.CellElement.Value;
        check.Text = e.CellElement.Value.ToString();
        e.CellElement.Text = "";

        e.CellElement.Children.Add(check);
    }
}

I hope this will help you. If you have further questions, feel free to ask.
