[Solved] GridLines disappear when using Template column

[Steve Newbery]

When a radGrid column is a non-templated regular column, and the database field is empty, I see the gridlines ok, eg using skin Outlook2007:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="FileName" HeaderText="FileName"
    SortExpression="FileName" UniqueName="FileName">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

But, when I convert the column to a template column, and the field is empty or it contains only spaces, the gridlines disappear for that cell:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="FileName" HeaderText="FileName"
    SortExpression="FileName" UniqueName="FileName">
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:TextBox ID="FileNameTextBox" runat="server"
            Text='<%# Bind("FileName") %>'"></asp:TextBox>
    </EditItemTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="FileNameLabel" runat="server"
            Text='<%# Eval("FileName") %>'></asp:Label>
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Why is this? And how can I work around this problem?

Thanks, Steve
