I'm using a custom IEnumerator to enumerate some custom Objects in my RadGrid. Sometimes, some of the properties I need to render turn out to be null. All of that works as I expect during the rendering, leaving the grid cell blank. The problem comes when I start to add the property name to the ClientDataKeyNames so that I can access the data from JavaScript.
Instead of emitting a null to JavaScript like I'd expect, RadGrid is throwing a NullReferenceException in RadGrid.DescribeProperties(ScriptComponentDescriptor descriptor) +2745 whenever I include one of the property names for which some of my objects have null data.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

I've also tried incorporating the RetrieveNullAsDBNull="true" into my GridTableView, but that didn't make any difference.

Hi Steve,
I'm afraid that you cannot set null in ClientDataKeyNames. If you post a bit more info about desired result I will gladly help you to achieve your goal.

I am not trying to add null to ClientDataKeyNames. What I am trying to do is add a property name to ClientDataKeyNames for which some of my objects happen to have null values.
For example, I have a DateTime? DateOfBirth property and a string Gender property whose values I want exposed at the client. For certain objects in my ITypedList/IEnumerable collection, the DateOfBirth or Gender is not known, and the property value in that object is a null. When that happens, I get the exception I described above. What I expect to happen is for the property value to be rendered out to JavaScript as a JavaScript null for those properties of those particular objects.

Hi Steve,
Unfortunately this issue is present in current version of RadGrid Prometheus. But I'm happy to inform you that our developers have already addressed the problem and therefore it will be available in next "features release" which will be released this week. I have updated your Telerik points for pointing this one out.
