Hi,
I am adding a user control into a rad dock programatically on click of a button.
There is a Rad grid with in the user control that is created and added dynamically to the controls of Web User Control.
This grid does not show up in the Web User Control added to thedock.
As an alternative, i tried adding the grid in the design view and try to set the data source in the Page_Init function. When doing this, null reference exception comes up as the grid seems to be a null object.
Objective is to set different properties to the grid (in the web user control) based on the button click event and add that user control to the dock.

Hi Anitha,
You could try to invoke method LoadControl with parameters, e.g.:
ASPX:
Code-behind:
ASCX:
