    I have an Hierarchy GridView with two levels.  In the child gridview I want to Add a New Row, however I need to set some default values in the row, so I have used the DefaultValuesNeeded event to populate the new row with the required defaults.

    This works well within one child view, however if I move to a different child view and try to Add a New Row, the DefaultValuesNeeded function fails with an error - NullReferenceException was unhandled.  This error is coming from the e.row.cells().value.

    Here is the code that both works and fails:

    Private Sub rgvVoucherServices_DefaultValuesNeeded(ByVal sender As Object, _  
            ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewRowEventArgs) _  
            Handles rgvVoucherServices.DefaultValuesNeeded  
            If TypeOf (rgvVoucherServices.CurrentRow) Is GridViewNewRowInfo Then 
                With e.Row  
                    .Cells("ELS_ELVKey").Value = rgvVoucherServices.CurrentRow.ViewInfo.ParentRow.Cells("ELV_Key").Value  
                    .Cells("ELS_LastUpdAction").Value = "I" 
                    .Cells("ELS_LastUpdBy").Value = GlobalParameters("UserKey")  
                    .Cells("ELS_LastUpdWhen").Value = Now  
                End With 
            End If 
        End Sub 

    Is there a problem with the way that I have implemented this method?

    I'm seeing the same problem, with the latest release of Telerik Winforms.

    Can someone please confirm that this still hasn't been addressed?

    I'm experiencing the same problem in 2013.1.321.40. 

    I'm using a master template with a child template. I need default values when adding a new row to the master template, but not the child template. The DefaultValuesNeeded event for the master template looks like this:

    Private Sub GridViewPriceCurve_DefaultValuesNeeded(sender As System.Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridViewPriceCurve.DefaultValuesNeeded
        e.Row.Cells("ProductManager").Value = My.User.Name
        e.Row.Cells("IsCustom").Value = True
        e.Row.Cells("CreatedOn").Value = DateTime.Now
    End Sub

    This works fine for the master template but I get a null reference error when adding a new record to the child template. The child template doesn't have any of the columns in common with the master template. 

    Any recommendations?

    Hi Robert,

    You can just check whether the Row template matches the desired template:
    Private Sub radGridView1_DefaultValuesNeeded(sender As Object, e As GridViewRowEventArgs)
        If e.Row.ViewTemplate = radGridView1.MasterTemplate Then
              'set default values
        End If
    End Sub

    I hope this helps.

    RadChart for WinForms is obsolete. Now what?

    When I try to add the below statement I get an error:
    Operator '=' is not defined for types 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewTemplate' and 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.MasterGridViewTemplate'

    Can you help me please.
    If e.Row.ViewTemplate = RadGridView1.MasterTemplate Then
         'set default values
    EndIf

    Hello Thomas,

    Here is what you can use instead: 
    If e.Row.ViewTemplate.Equals(RadGridView1.MasterTemplate) Then
        'set default values
    End If
