OpenAccessDataSource and Radgrid 2012 Q1

[Jonathan]

Hello, I have come across an issue with wiring up a RadGrid to an OpenAccessDataSource in the 2012 Q1 release.

Basically, when I add an OpenAccessDataSource to a RadGrid, the grid will display all the columns returned by the data source (AutoGenerate Columns is on by default) but when I open the Editor, there are a number of problems.

- Initially, with the grid selected in the left hand pane, the right hand pane displays all the properties for the General tab, but if I select Paging, Style, Grouping or Client Settings, no properties at all are display in the right hand pane.
- If I select Master TableView from the left hand pane, all the info displays for the General tab but not for Paging, Styles, Grouping or Columns.
- Any changes i make to the properties displayed in either of the General tabs are NOT saved
- If I switch to Source View in VS 2010 and manually add properties to the code (eg add a DataKeyName), these properties are not displayed in the grid editor

I have tried connecting the same grid to an ObjectDataSource and the grid editor performs normally.

I use OpenAccessDataSources a lot for quickly creating admin pages to administer lookup tables in the database, so this is a real problem for me.

Everything was working fine in the previous release.

Please help!

Jegards,

Hi Jonathan,

 We confirm that this is a problem with grid's designer when connecting to OpenDataSource. We logged this issue and it has been forwarded to our development team for further investigation and fixing.
