RadGrid: Problem with AutoGenerate Columns=false

[James Bonnyman]

Hi!

I have encountered a problem with RadGrid when using AutoGenerateColumns=false. Having defined the required columns and setting the property to false (both in code and in the property designer) the resulting output when the grid is bound to a data reader is far from what is to be expected.

The columns I specify do not take on the values defined by the fields assigned to them, rather they display the contents of coumns in the order the query returns them, append the remaining columns (ignoring the autogenerate setting) to my defined set, ie

Query returns ID, strSurname, StrForename, strPhone, strLocation

I defined a simple grid (as a test) to display only the column strSurname with the heading "Surname"

What happened was I got a grid with columns "Surname",  lngID, strSurname, strForename, strPhone

With 'Surname' displaying the values for lngID, 'lngID' displaying the values for strSurname etc.

Hello James Bonnyman,

The current version of RadGridView resets columns and settings when LoadFrom() method is called to load data. The new version of RadGridView has a different behavior and dependency from the AutoGenerateColumns property. The new version of RadGridView control will be available in Q2 2010 release due in the end of the next week.

Kind regards,
