    I had AlternateRowBackground working great on my RadGridViews. I noticed a while back it no longer works, but never gave it much thought. Now that I am investigating it, I see this looks like it is a  breaking change in the 2010 SP2 controls. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

    In a brand new Silverlight Project with only this UserControl, the alternate color briefly appears as the grid loads up, then gets covered with white.

    <UserControl
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        x:Class="SilverlightApplication1.UserControl1"
        d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480">
        <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
            <telerik:RadGridView x:Name="_grid" Width="400" Height="300" AlternateRowBackground="Red" AlternationCount="2" />
        </Grid>
    </UserControl>

    And my code behind is innocent:

    namespace SilverlightApplication1
    {
        public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
        {
            public UserControl1()
            {
                // Required to initialize variables
                InitializeComponent();
     
                _grid.ItemsSource = Enumerable.Range(5, 10);
            }
        }
    }


    Video illustrating the problem:

    I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    IE8 8.0.7600.16385
    Silverlight 4, 4.0.50826.0
    Telerik controls version 2010.2.812.1040


    IE Specific bug
    This bug is specific to IE. In Chrome 6 on WIndows the alternate rows show up just fine. I know IE is not the greatest browser, but you guys need to test your stuff out in it every once in a while :) This is the second bad IE specific bug I have found (the other being the RadTreeView drag and drop reported in the TreeView forum).

    I have found the reason for this issue. My IE was set to 120% zoom somehow. In fact you can even see the 120% zoom setting in the lower right corner of my video.

    Setting it back to 100% zoom fixes this issue. The alternating rows appear as expected.

    I would still argue this is a bug, but a much less serious one than I at first thought.

    Hi Matt Greer,

    We had different problems in RadGridView when browser zooming is used, but they are already fixed. If you upgrade to our latest version - Q2 2010 SP2 (.0924), the problem with AlternationRowBackground will no longer exist.
