I'm binding the radgrid to a object datasource
In the select method i return a populated DataTable as seen below.
The columns are created dynamically and given a specific type because i want to use the radgrid filter.

public DataTable SelectMethod(string filterExpression, string sortExpression, string strDoctype, int maximumRows, int startRowIndex)

{

DataTable oTable = new DataTable();

Doctype oDoctype = new Doctype();

bool bSuccess = true;

Hashtable oInfo = new Hashtable();

try

{

oDoctype = DoctypeADO.Retrieve_byDoctypeID(strDoctype);

}

catch

{

bSuccess = false;

}

if (bSuccess)

{

oTable.Columns.Add("DocumentID", typeof(String));

oTable.Columns.Add("DoctypeID", typeof(String));

XmlDocument oDoc = new XmlDocument();

oDoc.LoadXml(oDoctype.DoctypeXML);

foreach (XmlNode oNode in oDoc.DocumentElement)

{

oInfo.Add(oNode.Name, oNode.ChildNodes[0].InnerText);

}

ICollection oColl = oInfo.Keys;

List<string> oBuilder = new List<string>();

foreach (string strkey in oColl)

{

string type = string.Empty;

switch (oInfo[strkey].ToString())

{

case "Boolean":

{

type = "Bit";

oTable.Columns.Add(strkey, typeof(Boolean));

break;

}

case "Byte":

{

type = "smallint";

oTable.Columns.Add(strkey, typeof(Byte));

break;

}

case "DateTime":

{

type = "datetime";

oTable.Columns.Add(strkey, typeof(DateTime));

break;

}

case "Double":

{

type = "decimal";

oTable.Columns.Add(strkey, typeof(Double));

break;

}

case "Int16":

{

type = "smallint";

oTable.Columns.Add(strkey, typeof(Int16));

break;

}

case "Int32":

{

type = "int";

oTable.Columns.Add(strkey, typeof(Int32));

break;

}

case "Single":

{

type = "decimal";

oTable.Columns.Add(strkey, typeof(Single));

break;

}

case "String":

{

type = "varchar(100)";

oTable.Columns.Add(strkey, typeof(String));

break;

}

default: { break; }

}

oBuilder.Add("document_xml.value('(//Fields/" + strkey + "/Value)[1]','" + type + "') as " + strkey);

}

string strQuery = @"select

document_id as DocumentID,

doctype_id as DoctypeID,

" + String.Join(",", oBuilder.ToArray()) +

@" from ( select row_number() over (order by document_id asc) as rownumber, *

from cs_document

where doctype_id = @doc_id

) as test

where ROWNUMBER between @nStart+1 and @nEnd";

strQuery = AddFilter_Sorting(strQuery, filterExpression, sortExpression);

oCommand = new SqlCommand(strQuery);

oCommand.Parameters.Add(

new SqlParameter

{

DbType = DbType.String,

ParameterName = "doc_id",

Value = strDoctype

});

oCommand.Parameters.Add(

new SqlParameter

{

DbType = DbType.Int32,

ParameterName = "nStart",

Value = startRowIndex

});

oCommand.Parameters.Add(

new SqlParameter

{

DbType = DbType.Int32,

ParameterName = "nEnd",

Value = startRowIndex + maximumRows

});

oCommand.Connection = oConnection;

try

{

oConnection.Open();

oReader = oCommand.ExecuteReader();

while (oReader.Read())

{

object[] data = new object[oTable.Columns.Count];

for (int i = 0; i < oTable.Columns.Count; i++)

{

data[i] = oReader[oTable.Columns[i].ColumnName];

}

DataRow oRow = oTable.NewRow();

oRow.ItemArray = data;

oTable.Rows.Add(oRow);

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

throw ex;

}

return oTable;

}



protected void ObjectDataSource1_Selecting(object sender, ObjectDataSourceSelectingEventArgs e)

{

e.InputParameters["filterExpression"] = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.FilterExpression;

e.InputParameters["sortExpression"] = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.GetSortString();

}

Here is the grid and objectdatasource from the aspx

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" Width="100%" GridLines="None" AllowPaging="true"

AutoGenerateColumns="true" AllowFilteringByColumn="false" PageSize="10" AllowSorting="true"

<Columns>

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Uniq" HeaderText="Check" AllowFiltering="False">

<ItemTemplate>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

</Columns>

<HeaderStyle VerticalAlign="Middle" />

<ItemStyle VerticalAlign="Middle" />

<FilterItemStyle VerticalAlign="Middle" />

</MasterTableView>

</telerik:RadGrid>

<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSource1" TypeName="WebApplication1.DatabaseHandle.ObjectSource"

EnablePaging="true" SelectMethod="SelectMethod" SelectCountMethod="MySelectCount"

runat="server" OnSelecting="ObjectDataSource1_Selecting">

<SelectParameters>

<asp:Parameter Name="filterExpression" Type="String" />

<asp:Parameter Name="sortExpression" Type="String" />

<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="hidden_doctype" DbType="String" PropertyName="Value"

</SelectParameters>

</asp:ObjectDataSource>

The problem is that when after adding a populated datetime column in the datatable it throw's me the following error at runtime :
With any other columns i have no problem.
I'm guessing it's throwing this exception when it's adding the calendar buttons in the filterzone of the grid.

If i set the datetime column to string per example it works perfectly.

Hi Bogdan,

What do you mean by populated GridDateTime column? When you have your RadGrid control declared in mark-up but with dynamic columns there are two main things to follow:

-all columns should be dynamically created, this means that you should not declare a template column in mark-up. Since template columns should be created on Page_Init, I advise you that you consider generating the whole RadGrid control in code-behind, or remove the template column

-there is a specific order that needs to be followed when creating the columns. You can see it in this help article.

Additionally, you could check if binding the grid to another datasource (some dummy data in NeedDataSource for example) results in the same behavior, so you can rule out the datasource as a problem if the exception keeps being thrown.

Kind regards,

Changing the way the grid is populated worked.
Using the NeedDataSource solved the runtime error.

Now i'm facing a new problem.

I have the following code inside NeedDataSource

protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object source, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)

{

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.FilterExpression = GetFilterExpression();

RadGrid1.DataSource = new ObjectSourceSql().SelectMethod(GetFilterExpression(), RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.GetSortString(), comboDocType.SelectedValue, RadGrid1.PageSize, RadGrid1.CurrentPageIndex);

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.VirtualItemCount = new ObjectSourceSql().MySelectCount(GetFilterExpression(), RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.GetSortString(), comboDocType.SelectedValue);

}

If i do not add filter the grid works perfectly , adding the correct page number count , and binding the each set of records i bring at page change based on page count and page size.
Once i add a filtering expression using the radgrid filter and try to bind in NeedDataSource the new values ( the functions return the correct page numbers and data ) the grid doesn't bind them, it show's the old values and page number.
