grouping not happening when revisiting a page

[jen]

Hi there,
I have a RadGridView with one group descriptor on a page. First time visiting this page, items are added to the list and the grid displays them correctly, with the rows grouped correctly. If I leave this page and return to it, and the data has not changed, the grid shows the list not grouped.

I have turned the group panel visibility off and I am not displaying the column that is being grouped by. I don't want the users to change the grouping, I want the grouping to always be applied.

​ <telerik:RadGridView  ShowGroupPanel="False" AutoGenerateColumns="False" ItemsSource="{Binding Incentives}" EditTriggers="None"
                       IsReadOnly="True" IsFilteringAllowed="False" Margin="5" x:Name="grd_incentives">
                            <telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptors>
                                <telerik:GroupDescriptor Member="Type" DisplayContent="{Binding Type}" />
                            </telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptors>
                            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" Width="*" MaxWidth="250"  />
                                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Bulletin Number" DataMemberBinding="{Binding BulletinNumber}" Width="115"  />
                                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn  Header="Special Instructions" DataMemberBinding="{Binding SpecialInstructions}" Width="250"  />
                            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                        </telerik:RadGridView>


Is there something I can do to re-apply the grouping?
grd_incentives.Items.Refresh(); didn't help

Hello,

I am not able to reproduce such a problem neither locally nor on our online demos. You can test this yourself grouping by a column and then navigating between the different pages.

Would you please share how have you defined the paging? Have you defined it as explained in the Paging RadGridView online documentation?

I have figured out what's happening. When leaving this page the list the grid is bound to becomes null, which somehow causes the grid's groupDescriptors collection to change (action = refresh). I managed to catch and cancel that event, and now the group descriptor stays as I defined it in the xaml.
