Handler type not valid error with GridViewRow Selected event

[David]

I'm getting "Handler type not valid" when I set the Selected event in the RowStyle.
My XAML is:

<telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>
  <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow" >
     <EventSetter Event="Selected" Handler="pHandleItemSelected" />
  </Style>
</telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>

And my event handler is:

Private Sub pHandleItemSelected(sender As System.Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
End

The documentation says that this is the type of handler. So what is the problem?

I have figured out that the problem is the event is defined as RoutedEventHandler but is actually RadRoutedEventHandler.
I have reported this under Ticket 725826

Hello,

The answer in the support ticket was:

Indeed, you are absolutely right. Unfortunately, this can not be changed without introducing breaking changes. What you can try is to attach to the event like so:

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    AddHandler(GridViewRow.SelectedEvent, new RoutedEventHandler(row_Selected));
}

void row_Selected(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{

}

Copy Cod

Then, the answer from the client was:
I did have to change my handler to get the row from e.OriginalSource instead of sender. Also, the event still is not raised until the row is loaded so I still need to keep my SelectionChanged handler where I call ScrollIntoView. But at least this eliminates the RowLoaded event and I can now go back to "Option Strict On".

I hope this helps.
