Hi Telerik
I have a web application, it work as below:
I have a object : Customer and list data of  Customer : ObservableCollection<Customer>, it inherit from INotifyPropertyChanged
and I have a RadGridView, i implemented binding between RadGridVIew and ObservableCollection<Customer> with mode binding twoway.
I want to have clone of row in RadGridView, then it will be going to insert to last row with command as below:
GridView.Items.Insert(GridView.Items.Count,GridVIew.SelectedItem); or GridView.Items.Add(GridVIew.SelectedItem);
But seemed to do it somehow. I received exception as: "operation is not valid while ItemsSource is in use. Access and modify elements with ItemsControl.ItemsSource instead"
So, i have to how to implement clones a row on RadGridView.
example:
Cus_ID       Cus_Name
Cus01         Radda
Cus02         Minda    => this is row, which i selected to implement clone
__________________
and I want clone to second row as below:
Cus_ID       Cus_Name
Cus01         Radda
Cus02         Minda
Cus02         Minda       => this is row, it is copied form from second row.
in this example, I don't specific object as Customer, i want to use SelectedItem property to clones. I hope you can understand my thinking about this issue.

Hello Hưng Phạm,

 You need to insert this item directly in ItemsSource and the grid will respond immediately! Working with Items directly is possible if you have not set ItemsSource property. 

Kind regards,

Hi admin
I worked as you, and it work fine. but it appear a new issue, i cannot process it. As below:
i have a command as:
object TEMP;
public virtual void Clone()
{
    try
    {
        int index = (this.DataItems as IList).IndexOf(gridview.CurrentItem);
        TEMP = new object();
        TEMP = (this.DataItems as IList)[index];
        (this.DataItems as IList).Insert((this.DataItems as IList).Count, TEMP);
        gridview.SelectedItem = TEMP;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}
it added clones from row which i selected. But when i edit row which I cloned, all row which cloned, it too. what can I do?
I want when clones a row and edit it, it only edit row which i selected, don't have to all row cloned.

Hi Hưng Phạm,

Unfortunately this kind of cloning will confuse our selection mechanism. Currently we use keys to identify selected items and if two items have the same hash code (GetHashCode method) and their Equals method returns true the grid cannot distinguish between the items and ultimately this manifests as strange selection behavior. 

Maybe you should try to clone the items by creating new instance and duplicating the property values.

Greetings,
