RadGrid Delete row doesn't work

[George]

Hi,

I need your help to the following problem I am facing. I have a RadGrid loaded with data. Inserting and editing rows in RadGrid works fine. Deletion of a row doesn't work. Every time I try to delete a row I am getting the following error:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

I have log the SQL Server to see if the Delete statement executes but it's not. By pressing the delete I get immediately the error page.

Problem solved... Ignore this post please

Hi Pan,

How did you solve this? I'm looking at the same problem.

[Arno]

I found another post that solved this. For other people running into this:

This was a part of my code in a RadGrid:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="A header"
                        UniqueName="NumberSellers" HeaderStyle-Width="5em">
  <EditItemTemplate>
     -
  </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

The work around is to add an empty ItemTemplate. So, like this:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="A header"
                        UniqueName="NumberSellers" HeaderStyle-Width="5em">
  <ItemTemplate />
  <EditItemTemplate>
     -
  </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks Arno

This worked for me as well

Well spotted!

Thank you for posting this. So simple, but I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out.
