RadGridView error

[NS]

Hi,
I have the following xaml:

    </Grid>
</Telerik:RadPage>

When I run the application I get the following javascript error:
Sys.InvalidOperationException: ManagedRuntimeError error #4004 in control 'Xaml1': System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridView.Scrolling.PhysicalHeightsCache.RefreshItemsPhysicalHeightsCache() at Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewVirtualizingPanel.get_HeightsCache

Removing all the elements and attributes from the RadGridView doesn't solve the problem.

Any thoughts ?
Thanks,
Nicolas

Hello NS,

We have a known issue with our CTP RadGridView. When you show the grid but it has not been bound to any data yet, an exception will be thrown.
We are aiming to release a beta version in the middle of December. This issue will be fixed then. If meanwhile that causes problems, I would suggest the following workaround:

In the constructor of your page bind the grid to a fake empty list - something like:

 

public

Page()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.testGrid.ItemsSource = new List<string>();
}

 

This will prevent the exception from being thrown.
Then later when real data is available bind the grid to it. You may want to use your List<ADUserInfo> instead of List<string>() in order to have the columns names displayed OK from the  beginning.

Kind regards,

Looks like this bug (or something similar) is alive and well in the current binaries. I was getting a bizarre error that had me puzzling for several hours before finding this thread. Adding this.testGrid.ItemsSource = new List<string>();  to the Initialize() of my control fixed the problem. The control that I am using was being created dynamically and then populated with data, so a similar scenario.
