Binding to XML that Contains Null Data

Hi,

I have a grid binding nicely to a remote XML data source. The XML in question is generated from a database, which all works fine until there is a null entry in the data - which in turn removes the line from XML.

A (very) simple example of the resulting XML would be as follows:

<tblProduct>

<Product>

<name>This is a product</name>

<code>PRO001</code>

<description>A really great product.</description>

</Product>

<Product>

<name>This is a product</name

<description>Another really great product.</description>

</Product>

</tblProduct>

Note how there is no "code" field for the second "Product" entry. This is causing the grid to hang with the error:

Error: d.Product_Code is undefined
Source File: XXX/Scripts/Kendo_UI_Beta_2011_2_804/js/kendo.all.min.js
Line: 1

So my question is, is there a simple way to overcome this with the Kendo data source/grid control?

Thanks!
