[Solved] System.Exception: Catastrophic failure

[Mike Gorney]

I have a grid column with the cell template below:

<telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                                                <DataTemplate>
                                                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                                                        <Image Source="{Binding HostNameUrl}" Stretch="None"></Image>
                                                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding HostName}"></TextBlock>
                                                    </StackPanel>
                                                </DataTemplate>
                                            </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>

The HostNameUrl for the Image is a URL to a local resource I set from a property like:

public string HostNameUrl
{
get{
string path = string.empty;

switch(somevariable)
case 1:
return "Icons/FirstIcon.png";
case 2:
return "Icons/SecondIcon.png";
}
}

This works perfect 99% of the time.  Occasionaly I get this exception upon calling GridView.Rebind():

what is strange, is that if i catch this exception, and immediately call Rebind(), it works and displays the proper image.  Any pointers on where I should be looking?

Edit: i should note that it is an ObservableCollection<T> that I am binding the grid to.

Hi Mike Gorney,

This seems like a bug in RadGridView but I am curious why you need to call Rebind. Rebind is usually used to refresh the grid when it is bound to non-observable collection. Could you please try to run your application without calling Rebind? If that is not possible I would like to ask you to send us your application so that we can try to isolate the problem.

I have to call Rebind() because the value of the property is determined by a another private variables state.  So the collection actually receives no notification that the value of the property has changed.
