Grouping groups the wrong column

[Kevin]

Hi,
  I've been testing the trial version of RADControls for a project we're designing, and a large part of our project is the use of Grids.  I've set my grid up as follows:

	<telerik:RadGrid ID="_gridSPMIG" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" Skin="Telerik" PageSize="25" OnPageSizeChanged="OnPageSizeChanged" ShowGroupPanel="True">
	<MasterTableView TableLayout="Fixed">
	<RowIndicatorColumn>
	<HeaderStyle Width="20px" />
	</RowIndicatorColumn>
	<ExpandCollapseColumn>
	<HeaderStyle Width="20px" />
	</ExpandCollapseColumn>
	<Columns>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="SPIN" HeaderText="SPIN" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Suffix" HeaderText="Suffix" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Nomenclature" HeaderText="Nomenclature" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Modifier" HeaderText="Modifier" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Category" HeaderText="Category" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="APL" HeaderText="APL" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Part No." HeaderText="Part Number" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="SCAT Code" HeaderText="SCATCD" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="scat_ds" HeaderText="SCAT" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="NIIN" HeaderText="NIIN" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Cage" HeaderText="Cage" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Remarks" HeaderText="Remarks" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ui_ds" HeaderText="Unit of Issue" UniqueName="column">
	</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
	</Columns>
	</MasterTableView>
	<ClientSettings AllowDragToGroup="True">
	<Scrolling AllowScroll="True" UseStaticHeaders="True" />
	<Resizing AllowColumnResize="True" />
	</ClientSettings>
	<PagerStyle Wrap="True" />
	</telerik:RadGrid>

The issue is when I go to group by a column, I'll drag a column to the group panel, and it doesn't group by that column.  Instead, it groups by first column in the grid and won't allow me to add any other columns.  Is there something I'm missing when configuring the grid?

Thanks,
Kevin Griffin

Hi Kevin,

This is caused by the identical names of all columns. The columns are grouped by UniqueName and it should be different for each column.

Hi Kevin,

Also try binding the Grid using AdvanceDataBinding techniques.
Advanced data-binding
