How to Check the child grid is null?

[Sathish]

I am using a heirarchical grid and there are times the childGrid could be null. how to check that condition?

 

GridViewRow

 

grdRow = (GridViewRow)grdCell.ParentRow;

 

 

RadGridView

 

childGrid = grdRow.ChildrenOfType<RadGridView>().FirstOrDefault();


Please let me know

Thanks

Hi,

 It will be better if you use DataLoading if you want to check for some null ItemsSource. This event will be raised for child grids as well - in this case sender (which is GridViewDataControl) ParentRow property will be assigned.

Hi Vlad,
    This is my row loaded event

 

void rgvModifiedResults_RowLoaded(object sender, RowLoadedEventArgs e)

 

{

 

var row = e.Row as GridViewRow;

 

 

if (row != null)

 

{

row.Cells[7].AddHandler(

FrameworkElement.MouseLeftButtonDownEvent, new MouseButtonEventHandler(GradingMeeting_MouseLeftButtonDown), true);

 

row.Cells[8].AddHandler(

FrameworkElement.MouseLeftButtonDownEvent, new MouseButtonEventHandler(GradingMeeting_MouseLeftButtonDown), true);

 

row.Cells[9].AddHandler(

FrameworkElement.MouseLeftButtonDownEvent, new MouseButtonEventHandler(GradingMeeting_MouseLeftButtonDown), true);

 

}

}

This is the event handler

 void GradingMeeting_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            GridViewCell grdCell = (GridViewCell)sender;
            GridViewRow grdRow = (GridViewRow)grdCell.ParentRow;

            PerformResult performResult = null;
            IOfflineAction act = null;
            OriginalResults originalResults = (OriginalResults)grdRow.Item;

            OfflineResults origRsults = (OfflineResults)grdRow.Item;
            try
            {

 

                    RadGridView childGrid = grdRow.ChildrenOfType<RadGridView>().FirstOrDefault();
                    if (grdRow.IsSelected && grdRow.HasHierarchy)
                    {
                        originalResults.SelectedItem = true;
                        if (childGrid.SelectedItems.Count == 1)
                        {
                            for (int i = 0; i < originalResults.ModifiedResults.Count; i++)
                            {
                                for (int x = 0; x < childGrid.SelectedItems.Count; x++)
                                {
                                    if (originalResults.ModifiedResults[i].ConfirmationNumber.ToString().Equals(childGrid.SelectedItems[x].ToString()))
                                    {
                                        originalResults.ModifiedResults[i].SelectedItem = true;
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                          
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            MessageBox.Show("Compare feature can be used only if both the parent and child rows are selected. Please select a parent and child and try again. ");
                        }

                    }
                    else
                    {

                        if (childGrid.SelectedItems.Count == 2) (-- this is the line it throws an error because nothing is selected in the child grid)
                        {
                            for (int i = 0; i < originalResults.ModifiedResults.Count; i++)
                            {
                                for (int x = 0; x < childGrid.SelectedItems.Count; x++)
                                {
                                    if (originalResults.ModifiedResults[i].ConfirmationNumber.ToString().Equals(childGrid.SelectedItems[x].ToString()))
                                    {
                                        originalResults.ModifiedResults[i].SelectedItem = true;
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                           
                        }

                        else
                        {
                            MessageBox.Show("Compare feature can be used only if both the parent and child rows are selected. Please select a parent and child and try again. ");
                        }

                    }

               
               
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

            }
        }

The child grid is not null as in data(it is null because the user hasnt selected anything from the child grid's select box)


Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Hi Sathish,

Well, you can place check for childGrid != null to eliminate the exception.

All the best,
