RadGrid set Edit True forces ArgumentNullException

[Jan]

I have two RadGrids for showing main and detail data.

I wanted to have an asp:FileUpload in the WebUserControl Editform, so I  made a button to upload, save the new InsertItem and Redirect to the same page, opening the EditForm for the newly inserted item in RadGrid2 as shown here: http://www.telerik.com/forums/how-to-use-a-hyperlink-column-to-redirect-to-a-new-and-load-details-in-a-radgrid.

Then, on DataBind, the second Grid throws the following error:

[ArgumentNullException: Der Wert darf nicht NULL sein.

Hello Jan,

As you could notice, the exception indicates that there is something wrong with the paths that you are using, so please ensure that all paths that you are using in your RadGrid settings are correctly configured.

If any further assistance is needed on this matter, please open a regular support ticket and attach the markup and the code-behind of your pages, so we can inspect them locally.


Best Regards,

Hello Konstantin,

 thanks for your answer. As I don't know about any paths usable by a RadGrid, I suppose it's best to open a ticket?

Hello Jan,

From the error it seems that there are some paths used in the UserControl that you are using for editing the items in your RadGrid. You can past the markup of the user control here, so we can see if there is something obvious that we can identify as a root of the problem.

I have found that using "FireCommandEvent("Edit", null)" combined with item.Edit = true solves the problem... whatever :O
