'Field' is not a member of Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.DesignTimeDB

[jmillar]

Hi all;

First, I need to preface this by saying I'm a newbie when it comes to the WPF world.  But I'm having some trouble with the design time experience for WPF grid view.  Can anybody summarize how I can set up a design time experience that lets me work with the data I'll be using at runtime, so that I don't wind up with XML parser errors on the design surface, rather than a representation of my grid?

For example, if I set up a grid similar to the following:

    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadGridView Margin="0" Name="radGridView1" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewColumn UniqueName="salesperson_name" IsVisible="False"/>
            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
            <telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptions>
                <telerik:RadGroupDescription PropertyName="salesperson_name" SortDirection="Ascending"/>
            </telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptions>
        </telerik:RadGridView>
    </Grid>

I wind up with an Unhandled Exception on the design surface.

Thanks,
Jason

Hello jmillar,

Now that's a strange coincidence: another customer reported this problem today, and we managed to fix it. We have delayed our SP2 release until Monday, and the fix will make it in that build.

Until then, you can work around the problem by setting your group descriptions in your code behind.

Best wishes,
