[Solved] Breaking changes with Grid in Q1 2011?

[rjmorton]

Did something change in the Q1 2011 release for datagrid that causes breaking changes?
I just upgraded today, fired up a project that has been compiling and working flawlessly and I'm getting a huge amount of compilation errors around the Grid control.

The main one that is significant is the following snippet:

GridViewDataColumn oColorName = new GridViewDataColumn();
oColorName.UniqueName = "ColorName";
oColorName.HeaderText = "Color Name";
radGridReport.Columns.Insert(6, oColorName);

I'm getting a red squiggly under the 'new GridViewDataColumn()' with the following error:
"Cannot create an instance of the abstract class or interface 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewDataColumn'"

Nevermind - seems we can't call:

GridViewDataColumn oColorName = new GridViewDataColumn();

directly anymore - need to use something like

GridViewDataColumn oColorName = new GridViewTextBoxColumn();

instead.


sigh.....
