Failed to compare two elements in the array

[Ash]

Hello, I am getting the below exception and I was wondering if there is any way to intercept the GridViewRowInfoComparer.CompareRows method to check for null values instead of throwing exception.

 

System.InvalidOperationException: Failed to compare two elements in the array. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
