[Solved] Ambiguous match found

Hello telerik!

After applying RadControls_for_Silverlight5_2012_2_0625_DEV_hotfix; I still get the following error when my GridView gets loaded:

Ambiguous match found.

Hi Tim,

 
This issue should be fixed. May I ask you to share more details about your exact scenario? A code-snippet or a sample project demonstrating the problem will be a plus.

Hello Vera, I am trying to create a sample project but it is not that easy because I am using Caliburn and some other stuff... But one question already came up: Is this also fixed for RadTreeListView? (Because that is what I am currently using, but as the RadTreeListView and the RadGridView got the same base it should be fixed here as well, right? But it is still not fixed - downloaded the latest release just a few minutes ago...)

Thanks a lot!!!
Tim.

Hello!

Unfortunately I am unable to create a sample project in reasonable time - anyway: really strange is, that it is working fine, when I replace the following line

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Label" DataMemberBinding="{Binding SessionCount}" DataFormatString="{}{0:N0}" />

with this line here:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Label" DataMemberBinding="{Binding SessionCountXXX}" DataFormatString="{}{0:N0}" />

Of course, SessionCount and SessionCountXXX are identical beside the name. That's strange! I don't get it but it is working with any of these two lines in the old version...

Any ideas perhaps???
Thanks a lot,
Tim.

Hello,

 Can you post both properties implementations?

I'm also seeing this error with version 2012.2.607.1050.

In my case, I've extended the RadGridView control so that I can pass in a configuration object parameter and have it build columns with specific datatypes so that sorting and filtering will work properly.

public class FeatureResultGrid : RadGridView
    {
        private List<string> _blackListedColumns = new List<string>()
        {
            "OBJECTID", "SHAPE", "GEOG"
        };

        private RelayCommand _copyToClipboardCommand;
        public RelayCommand CopyToClipboardCommand
        {
            get
            {
                return _copyToClipboardCommand = new RelayCommand(
                    () =>
                    {
                        StringBuilder clipboard = new StringBuilder();

                        if (this.Items.Count > 0)
                        {
                            clipboard.AppendLine("<TABLE>");

                            clipboard.AppendLine("<TR>");
                            foreach (var col in GridConfig.ColumnDefinitions)
                            {
                                clipboard.AppendFormat("<TH>{0}</TH>", col.DisplayName);
                            }
                            clipboard.AppendLine("</TR>");

                            foreach (Graphic graphic in this.Items)
                            {

                                }
                                clipboard.AppendLine("</TR>");
                            }
                            clipboard.AppendLine("</TABLE>");
                        }

Let me know if you'd like me to create a sample project.

Thanks!

Hi Jay,

 Please open support ticket and send us small project demonstrating the error.

I'm having trouble replicating the issue in a sample project.  In the project where I'm seeing the issue, I've narrowed the problem down to setting the DataMemberBinding property of a GridViewDataColumn to a binding that uses a dictionary path.  

I've reverted to using version 2012.1.326.1050 where the problem does not exist.

Hello Jay,

 
Thank you for the project sent. I tested it with our Latest Internal Build and I did not get the exception. May I ask you to download it and to give it a try? 

Kind regards,

Hi Vera,

I have this problem when binding to strongly typed datasets by using the square braket notation in the Binding like the example below.

  <telerik:GridViewDataColumn IsReadOnly="True" Header="Nr" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=[CU_NumeroPratica]}">
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

Thank you,

Giulio

Hello,

 Can you post more info about your grid version? Are you using our latest official Q2 2012 SP2?
