Null Filter Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[Mark]

Hi All,

I have a basic RadGrid with GridDateTimeColumns and GridBoundColumns.  Unfortunately, when I try to filter these columns I receive an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error.  Reading the remainder of the error message, it appears that it is a "NullReferenceException."  These columns do have empty (null) values, so I believe the error stems from this.

Can anyone please tell me how I can go about fixing this error?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Its hard to identify the issue without your code, below is a sample code snippet which works fine at my end. Please check if it works, else provide your full code.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AllowFilteringByColumn="true" AllowPaging="true". .>
    <MasterTableView>
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="OrderID" HeaderText="OrderID">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridDateTimeColumn DataField="OrderDate" HeaderText="OrderDate" PickerType="DatePicker" EnableTimeIndependentFiltering="true" DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}">
            </telerik:GridDateTimeColumn>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ShipCity" HeaderText="ShipCity" >
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

Thanks,

Princy,

Thank you very much for the reply!

I was actually doing some custom filtering in my itemcommand method and didn't check to see if data from the filter pair was null before moving forward.

Thanks,
