I am having a problem with the RadGridView not allowing the user to re-order the columns via column header dragging after the grid has been bound to a data source. I can click and begin to drag a column header, however once I release the mouse button, the column returns to its original position, not the position I dropped it at. This only happens after I have bound the grid to a datasource.

Am I doing something wrong or is this expected behavior?

Using GridView version 2009.2.9.729

The code below is a form with a RadGridView and 3 columns. After I click the bind button, I can no longer re-order columns:

    
            using System;  
        
            using System.Drawing;  
        
            using System.Windows.Forms;  
        
            using System.ComponentModel;  
        
            using Telerik.WinControls.UI;  
        
            namespace TelerikGridTest  
        
            {  
        
                public partial class SimpleGridTest : Form  
        
                {  
        
                    private Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadGridView radGridView1;  
        
                    private void btnBind_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        
                    {  
        
                        BindingList<SomeObject> data = new BindingList<SomeObject>();

                        data.Add(new SomeObject("3.1", "3.2", "3.3", "3.4"));

I supplied a sample form in my original forum post that is currently demonstrating this behavior. I have tested this code against the official 2009.2.9.729 release, as well as the 2009.2.9.903 internal build. The behavior is identical in either build. The visual location of the column does not change when using column header drag drop while the grid is databound.

Here is the code again:

    
            using System;  
        
            using System.Drawing;

            using System.ComponentModel;  
        
            using Telerik.WinControls.UI;  
        
            namespace TelerikGridTest  
        
            {  
        
                public partial class SimpleGridTest : Form  
        
                {  
        
                    private Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadGridView radGridView1;  
        
                    private void btnBind_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        
                    {  
        
                        BindingList<SomeObject> data = new BindingList<SomeObject>();
