Hello,

Most probably the problem comes from the fact that you are clearing the Columns collection of RadGrid in the Page_Load event.

Doing this, the first time noting happens, because the structure of RadGrid is still not created, however, on the second time, the structure is recreated from the ViewState. And after that you are clearing the collection and most probably this is the reason for the error message.

Please, check this help topic for more information on how to create the structure of RadGrid dynamically. Additionally, you do not need to create the ClientSelectColumn dynamically in this case, you could do it statically in mark-up code.

Give these suggestions a try and check whether the issue still replicates.
