Error with Grid GroupByExpression

[Matt Dufrasne]

I have a RadGrid with a datatable as it's source.
I have AllowCustomPaging set to true.

    <telerik:RadGrid runat="server" ID="RadGridSearchResults"
    PageSize="50" AllowPaging="true" AllowCustomPaging="true"
    OnNeedDataSource="RadGridSearchResults_NeedDataSource" Skin="Default">
    <PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevNumericAndAdvanced" />
    </telerik:RadGrid>

The code for my code behind method RadGridSearchResults_NeedDataSource just fills and returns a datatable with the following columns:

    dataTableSearchResults.Columns.Add("recipeId", typeof(string));
    dataTableSearchResults.Columns.Add("ingredientsIds", typeof(string));
    dataTableSearchResults.Columns.Add("country", typeof(string));
    dataTableSearchResults.Columns.Add("author", typeof(string));
    dataTableSearchResults.Columns.Add("style", typeof(string));
    dataTableSearchResults.Columns.Add("friendly", typeof(string));
    dataTableSearchResults.Columns.Add("name", typeof(string));

Once the RadGrid is databound, I run the following:

    var expression = GridGroupByExpression.Parse(
    "recipeId [Recipe], count(recipeId) ingredientsIds [Ingredients]
    Group By recipeId");
    this.RadGridSearchResults.MasterTableView.GroupByExpressions.Add(expression);
    this.RadGridSearchResults.GroupingEnabled = true;

I would expect my radgrid to then look like the one they have here once you click on the 'Group by expression' button:

Instead, it looks like this:

After Load

Only looking right after I click the 'sort' button:

After Clicking Sort

Any clue? I even tried invoking sort manually but that was not successful.

Hi Matt,

I suggest you review the following example, that demonstrates the approach for custom paging, grouping and filtering. Please examine it and see if this is the expected behavior and what is the difference in your case.
