Issue with column groups

[Steve]

I am using the RADGridView for the manipulation of data, the data has a number of "week" blocks which consist of 3 columns, i have been using columngroups to create a header for each week block.  The number of week blocks, and therefore columns in the grid, is variable so a dynamic object is used at the item source and the columns generated in the "AutoGeneratingColumn" event, as are the column groups.  The issue is that not all the column groups are being displayed once the grid has been generated, i have checked the properties of the group to check each column has its correct column group and it does.

See the code below (it's a cut down version of the actual code but it produces the same result)

Please advise on how to get the column groups displaying correctly.

Hello Steve,

I believe the very next internal build will have a fix relevant to the issue you are experiencing. it will be available for download in your account the late Monday or Tuesday.

Please let me know if upgrading to the fresh dlls does not fix the problem .

Kind regards,
