I have a function that formats rows in the grid. For example the rows that have been modified are put to bold, etc. When i call this function i sometimes get an exception stating that VisualElement is null??
Is it ok to manipulate the visual style of a row with this property and if not ... how to format row ?
ps: the format condition is not good for me so please another way...

Hi Louis ,
RadGridView uses virtualization of its visual elements. This means that only a limited number of elements are created at a time. Only the rows that are currently visible on grid's surface have an associated VisualElement. When the grid is sorted or just scrolled up and down, these elements are reused and connected with new row info. Yes, it is OK to use the VisualElement property of GridViewRowInfo to format it, but this must happen inside RowFormatting or CellFormatting events.
All the best,
