GridBoundColumn unexpected layout

[Vladimir Gosic]

Hello,
I am using RadGrid created programatically in code behing on Page.Init. In the grid I have some GridBoundColumns and some GridTemplateColumns with custom classes as templates. But I have a problem with the GridBoundColumn that displays date. It looks like the whole column is selected, no matter what skin I set. The GridBoundColumn next to it, has the same code except for differences in binding and naming definition. Here is the code for columns (I use the same procedure, but I changed some values like used when creating Date column:

Dim column As GridBoundColumn
column = New GridBoundColumn()

column.UniqueName = "Date"
column.DataType = GetType(String)
column.HeaderText = PmResources.GetResourceString(headerResourceKey)
column.HeaderTooltip = PmResources.GetResourceString(toolTipResourceKey)
column.DataField = "Date"
column.AutoPostBackOnFilter = False
column.ShowFilterIcon = False
column.CurrentFilterFunction = GridKnownFunction.NoFilter
column.SortExpression = dataField
column.Groupable = False
column.AllowFiltering = False
column.Reorderable = False
column.Visible = visibile
column.HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(width)
column.ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(width)
column.ReadOnly = isReadOnly
column.ItemStyle.VerticalAlign = VerticalAlign.Top
column.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Left

I am also posting a screenshot of the unexpected layout. I hope you can help me, I am guessing that maybe "Date" is some special name that shouldn't be used in Grid's UniqueName or Binding definition.

Thanks in advance,
Vladimir

I followed your scenario n order to replicate the issue you are facing but to no avail. Please find attached a simple test project which is working as expected, examine it and let me know if it helps.

Hello Pavlina,

Thank you for your answer, but I have already found what was causing the kind of "selected column" layout. It was the fact that I was forcing the grid sorting using that column and I disabled the sorting in the whole grid so I couldn't see clearly that it was causing the column selecting (I couldn't re-sort/turn off sort  of the grid). Now I moved the sorting to the Data layer and removed Sorting in the grid and everything is as expected now.

So the code that was causing it:

Dim expressionDate As GridSortExpression = New GridSortExpression
expressionDate.FieldName = "Date"
expressionDate.SetSortOrder("Ascending")

MasterTableView.SortExpressions.AddSortExpression(expressionDate)

with using: Grid.AllowSorting = False

Vladimir
