Hello,

I've got this problem using GridView, where when ShowRowHeaderColumn is false my grid crashes with a null object reference exception somewhere from within GridView. The example below is the simplest test case of the problem I could find, it is a grid with 1 child subgrid, when opening the child level and selecting a row, then moving it out of view and back into view by scrolling the grid crashes. I don't think this problem is widespread, because surely someone else must be setting ShowRowHeaderColumn to false in a hierarchic grid and then I would have found something about this problem, so it must be something I do wrong. It is however the most simple example I could come up with, so I'm kinda stuck.

TestGridForm.cs

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using Telerik.WinControls.UI;

using Telerik.WinControls.Enumerations;

namespace RadGridViewProblems

{

/*

* Demonstate a gridview crash problem when quickly scrolling up and down and having row header column disabled, set

* ShowRowHeaderColumn below to true and no crash anymore, reason why/workaround: unknown

*/

public partial class TestGridForm : RadForm

{

public TestGridForm()

{

InitializeComponent();

this.Load += new EventHandler(FormLoaded);

}

private void FormLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//testGridView.ReadOnly = true;

testGridView.AutoGenerateColumns = true;

childGridViewTemplate = new GridViewTemplate();

childGridViewTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = true;

//set ShowRowHeaderColumn here to true and no crash anymore

testGridView.MasterTemplate.ShowRowHeaderColumn = true;

//the one on the child template can be true/false, it doesn't matter

childGridViewTemplate.ShowRowHeaderColumn = false;

testGridView.MasterTemplate.Templates.Add(childGridViewTemplate);

GridViewRelation relation = new GridViewRelation(testGridView.MasterTemplate);

relation.ChildTemplate = childGridViewTemplate;

relation.RelationName = "ParentChildren";

relation.ParentColumnNames.Add("id");

relation.ChildColumnNames.Add("parent_id");

testGridView.Relations.Add(relation);

LoadData();

}

private void LoadData()

{

List<MyParentClass> myParentList = new List<MyParentClass>();

for(int i=1; i<=100; i++)

{

myParentList.Add(new MyParentClass() { id = i, name = i.ToString(), info = "blabla" });

}

List<MyChildClass> myChildList = new List<MyChildClass>();

Random random = new Random(1);

for(int i=1; i<=300; i++)

{

myChildList.Add(new MyChildClass() { parent_id = random.Next(1,100), id = i, name = i.ToString(), info = "blabla" });

}

testGridView.DataSource = myParentList;

childGridViewTemplate.DataSource = myChildList;

}

private GridViewTemplate childGridViewTemplate;

}

public class MyParentClass

{

public int id { get; set; }

public String name { get; set; }

public String info { get; set; }

}

public class MyChildClass

{

public int parent_id { get; set; }

public int id { get; set; }

public String name { get; set; }

public String info { get; set; }

}

TestGridForm.Designer.cs

namespace RadGridViewProblems

partial class TestGridForm

private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

/// <summary>

this.SuspendLayout();

//

//

this.testGridView.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(833, 444);

this.testGridView.TabIndex = 0;

this.testGridView.Text = "radGridView1";

//

// TestGridForm

//

this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);

this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;

this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(833, 494);

this.Controls.Add(this.testGridView);

this.Name = "TestGridForm";

this.Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(0, 0, 0, 50);

//

this.RootElement.ApplyShapeToControl = true;

this.Text = "Test Form";

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.testGridView)).EndInit();

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this)).EndInit();

this.ResumeLayout(false);

}

#endregion

private Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadGridView testGridView;

}

If someone could point me to my mistake (or who knows confirm it's a bug in GridView) that would be great.

Thanks
cheers

Hi Richard,

thanks for your reply, you did have to change the line

this.gridSearchResult.MasterTemplate.ShowRowHeaderColumn = true;

this.gridSearchResult.MasterTemplate.ShowRowHeaderColumn = false;

to demonstrate the problem, I had forgotten to do that in my example.

I have been able to reproduce this on a colleague's computer. About the version, the reference to GridView says in properties a version of v2.0.50727, the installer was called RadControls_WinForms_2010_2_10_806_dev (should be the last version available I think). But hearing that you cannot reproduce the problem does suggest it is some version specific bug, unless you have the same version then something else must be different. If you have some more ideas, much appreciated.

Thanks
Frederik
