Beta Issue: 2009 Q3

[Agustin Rodriguez]

We just got the latest beta release 2009.3.1023.35 and we are getting a NullReferenceException exception while the grid attempts to apply a header template.

 System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
  Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Hello Agustin,

Can you post a bit more info how to reproduce this? Anything special in the grid declaration/binding?

Sincerely yours,

After a little more time it appears that applying a style to the header template has changed a bit in this new release.  The following style works fine in the previous beta release. (causes the header to display any content associated with the tag property of the column, in this case an icon)

  <Style x:Key="GridViewButtonCellHeader" TargetType="{x:Type telcgv:GridViewHeaderCell}">
                    <Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True" />
                    <Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="0" />
                    <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" />
                    <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0" />
                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
                    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{x:Static Brushes.Transparent}" />
                    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
                    <Setter Property="Width" Value="Auto" />
                    <Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="False" />
                    <Setter Property="Template">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <ControlTemplate>
                                <ContentControl Width="12" Height="12"
                                                ContentTemplate="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode='FindAncestor', AncestorType={x:Type telcgv:GridViewHeaderCell}, AncestorLevel=1}, Path=Column.Tag}" />
                            </ControlTemplate>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>

                </Style>

The column that uses this style looks like this...

 <telgv:GridViewColumn IsReadOnly="True" IsSortable="False" IsGroupable="False" IsEnabled="False" IsFilterable="False"
                                      IsReorderable="False" IsResizable="False" Focusable="False" Background="Gainsboro" Header="{x:Null}"
                                      CellStyle="{StaticResource GridViewButtonCell}"  HeaderCellStyle="{StaticResource GridViewButtonCellHeader}"
                                      IsVisible="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode='FindAncestor', AncestorType={x:Type local:GridViewUserControl}, AncestorLevel='1'}, Path=ShowRowItemCommandsProxy}"
                                      Tag="{Binding Source={StaticResource SaveIconDT}}" >
                    <telgv:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <Button ContentTemplate="{Binding Source={StaticResource SaveIconDT}}" Width="16" Height="16"
                                                Command="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode='FindAncestor', AncestorType={x:Type local:GridViewUserControl}, AncestorLevel='1'}, Path=SaveRowItemCommandProxy, BindsDirectlyToSource=true}"
                                                Visibility="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=IsEnabled, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"
                                                ToolTip="Save changes for this item." />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telgv:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                </telgv:GridViewColumn>

this causes the NullReferenceException metioned before, however if I comment out the Template setter in the style the exception is no longer present.

                <Style x:Key="GridViewButtonCellHeader" TargetType="{x:Type telcgv:GridViewHeaderCell}">
                    <Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True" />
                    <Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="0" />
                    <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" />
                    <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0" />
                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
                    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{x:Static Brushes.Transparent}" />
                    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
                    <Setter Property="Width" Value="Auto" />
                    <Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="False" />
                    <!--<Setter Property="Template">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <ControlTemplate>
                                <ContentControl Width="12" Height="12"
                                                ContentTemplate="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode='FindAncestor', AncestorType={x:Type telcgv:GridViewHeaderCell}, AncestorLevel=1}, Path=Column.Tag}" />
                            </ControlTemplate>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>-->

                </Style>

Perhaps I need to correct the way the header template is set, or I may be doing it wrong all along?

Hello Agustin,

Thank for reporting this issue. It was introduced in the beta2 and we have already fixed the null reference exception for the official release.
