Exception when binding to ListCollectionView with filter

[Erik]

If I bind a RadGridView to a ListCollectionView with a filter, and I chance a value in a Grid cell that causes the filter to return false for that row, I get an exception in the Grid cell.

Code to reproduce:

public class MyEntity : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private bool _myBool;
    public bool MyBool
    {
        get { return _myBool; }
        set
        {
            _myBool = value;
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("MyBool"));
        }
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}

public partial class MainWindow
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            DataContext = this;

            MyEntities = new ObservableCollection<MyEntity> { new MyEntity(), new MyEntity(), new MyEntity() };
            MyCv = (ListCollectionView)CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(MyEntities);
            MyCv.Filter = MyBoolFilter;
        }

        public ObservableCollection<MyEntity> MyEntities { get; set; }

        public ListCollectionView MyCv { get; set; }

        private bool MyBoolFilter(object item)
        {
            return !((MyEntity)item).MyBool;
        }
    }

<Window x:Class="GridViewTest.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

    <telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding MyCv}"/>

</Window>

Steps to reproduce:
1. check one of the checkboxes in the grid
2. move focus to somewhere else

I use version Q3 2011 SP1, .Net 4.0

Is there a way around this problem?

The issue also occurs with Q1 2012

Hi Erik,

Actually, this would be a kind of expected behavior. The cause of the issue is that the element which is supposed to be current is removed and the synchronization with the selected item breaks. What you can do is to set IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem property of the grid:

<telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding MyCv}" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="False" />

Let me know whether the suggested approach corresponds to your requirements.

Hi Maya,

That works up-to the last item. When the grid has one row left, when I check the checkbox and place focus somewhere else, I get another exception.

Hi Erik,

Indeed, you are quite correct. And again in this case the reason is that the item to be set as current/ selected is no more available. What I could suggest in this case is to verify whether the item to which a filter is applied is null or not:

private bool MyBoolFilter(object item)
       {
           if (item != null)
           {
               return !((MyEntity)item).MyBool;
           }
           else
               return false;
       }

Nevertheless, we will investigate the issue and check whether we can update the source so that no such exception is caused anyway.
Thank you for your cooperation. I have updated your telerik points accordingly.

Hi Maya,

The MyBoolFilter is one thing I checked, object item is never null there

Hello Erik,

Would you take a look at the sample attached ?  Can you verify whether you can  get the same exception on it ? 

Kind regards,

Hi Maya,

Turns out that I was mistaken and you are correct, your modification of the MyBoolFilter function fixes the problem. I was testing with a different project where the exception somehow turned up somewhere else completely.

IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="False" solves my initial issue, the other issue was my mistake
