(I am posting this thread here because I didn't get any reply in GRID setion of forum yet)

Hi,

I need to create hierarchical rad grid programatically using DataTable, but I'm having a problem in settng the data source for level 1 hierarchy. When I try to expand the child table, an exception is thrown as

"Exception Details: System.Data.SyntaxErrorException: Syntax error: Missing operand before 'Is' operator."

Kindly help me out regarding this issue. I have attached my code and exception trace. Thanks

Regards
Muhammad Farjad

Hi,

It is really strange that you received this error after you updated the Telerik dll. The provided code looks correct, also EnableLinqExpressions property of grid is set to false as it should be. Therefore to be able to assist you further, I will ask you to open a support ticket and send us a sample project where the issue can be observed. We will test it locally and will advice you further. You can also download the latest version of RadControls - Q2 2013 and see if you still receive the error.
