Null pointer exception when trying to add event handler

[asp.net]

My application is crashing when I am opening a window with a grid having a templated cell. The markup for the cell is given below. The app works fine if I do not add this event handler Initialized=btnNoActionRequired_Initialized (or any event handler) for the RadButton. It starts carshing when I add any event handler. The stack trace is given at the end of this message. Please help.  Thanks!

Hi,

 Our forums are community resources and if you want to contact Telerik support you can open support ticket.

Adding event handlers in style setters is not supported in WPF - you can check this thread for more info:

Greetings,
