Error in Events while select checkbox column

[muralitharan]

Hi,
I am using check box column to select row.
In fact when the check box is selected, I am storing the DataBondItem of checked row in an Arraylist.

The constraint here is, at a time only one check box has to be checked.
When the next row is checked. The privious check box should be unchecked.

The above is the total functionality.

I am using, BeginEdit and ActiveEditorValuechanged event to perform the above functionality.

The problem here is I am getting 'Object Reference Error' once in a while.

Can anybody suggest better way to obtain the above functionality ?

Current Code for reference :

 void radGrid_CellBeginEdit(object sender, GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
        {
            currentRowIndex = e.RowIndex;
            CurrentRowDataItem = this.radGrid.Rows[e.RowIndex].DataBoundItem;

            try
            {
                CurrentRowDataItem = this.radGrid.Rows[e.RowIndex].DataBoundItem;
                if (radGrid.Columns[e.ColumnIndex] is GridViewCheckBoxColumn)
                {
                    //When the editor is clicked properly
                    if (radGrid.ActiveEditor != null && radGrid.ActiveEditor.Value != null)
                    {
                        //create handler for active Editor
                        radGrid.ActiveEditor.ValueChanged += new EventHandler(ActiveEditor_ValueChanged);
                    }
                }
            }
            catch { }
        }

        void ActiveEditor_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //Only when the value is not null
            if (radGrid.ActiveEditor != null && radGrid.ActiveEditor.Value != null)
            {
                //remove the handler, because next time when the editor is clicked new handler wil be created
                radGrid.ActiveEditor.ValueChanged -= new EventHandler(ActiveEditor_ValueChanged);
                try
                {
                    //Here check the any row's check box selected in the Grid or not.
                    if (this.selectedRows != null && radGrid.ActiveEditor != null)
                    {
                        //current data item
                        object item = radGrid.CurrentRow.DataBoundItem;

                        if (radGrid.ActiveEditor.Value.ToString().ToLower() == "true")
                        {
                            this.selectedRows.Clear();
                            this.selectedRows.Add(item);

                            if (PreviousRowDataItem == null || previousCheck == -1)
                            {
                                //previousCheck = currentRowIndex;
                                PreviousRowDataItem = this.radGrid.CurrentRow.DataBoundItem;
                            }
                            
                            //set current index of previously selected row. It has to be checked and set because while sorting index may change
                            previousCheck = GetActualCheck(PreviousRowDataItem);

                            //Uncheck the previously selected
                            if (previousCheck != -1)
                            {
                                //set false if its true
                                if (radGrid.Rows[previousCheck].Cells[0].Value.ToString().ToLower() == "true")
                                {
                                    radGrid.Rows[previousCheck].Cells[0].Value = Boolean.FalseString;
                                }
                            }
                            //change the previous rowdata to current dataitem
                            if (currentRowIndex != -1)
                            {
                                PreviousRowDataItem = this.radGrid.CurrentRow.DataBoundItem;
                            }

                            if (OnSelectionChange != null)
                            {
                                OnSelectionChange();
                            }
                        }
                        //if uncheck clear the selected rows
                        else
                        {
                            this.selectedRows.Clear();
                        }

                        //if the Edit is finished, have to call this Default function otherwise the edit should not be commited
                        bool b = radGrid.EndEdit();
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    Nexus.UI.BaseMdiParent.RaiseException(this, ex);
                }
            }
        }
