Grid Grouping causes Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'Name' of null

[GT]

I have a grid with ajax databinding enabled. Sorting, filtering, and paging work fine, however when grouping is enabled it generates the following client side error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'Name' of null.

The grid is defined as:

@(Html.Telerik().Grid<MyObject>()
    .Name("MyObjectGrid")
    .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(o => o.Foo.Name).Title("Foo").Width(500);
            columns.Bound(o => o.Bar.Name).Title("Bar").Width(100);
            columns.Bound(o => o.Prop1).Width(100);
            columns.Bound(o => o.Prop2).Width(100);
        })
    .DataBinding(dataBinding =>
        {
            dataBinding.Ajax().Select(
                "GetMyObjects",
                "MyObjectsController",
                new
                {
                    MyRoutingParameter = Model.SomeRoutingParameter,
                });
        })
        .Scrollable()
        .Sortable()
        .Pageable()
        .Filterable()
        .Groupable())

And the controller is defined as:

[HttpPost]
[GridAction]
public JsonResult GetMyObjects(MyObjectCriteria criteria)
{
    var result = this.repository.GetMyObjects(criteria);
    return new JsonResult { Data = new GridModel(result) };
}

The repository.GetMyObjects method returns an IQueryable and I'm using the EntityFramework (4.2). Again, sorting, filtering, and paging work fine, this only occurs when enabling grouping.

Any thoughts/suggestions to help track this down?

Thanks!

Hi Greg,

As the exception message describes the problem, probably the Foo or Bar properties are null. The Grid does not handle such cases. Make sure that every MyObject in your collection has instances of the Foo and Bar properties.
