Telerik.Web.UI.GridGroupByException

[vinit]

Hello

I got the Telerik.Web.UI.GridGroupByException error after I tried to drag and drop the column in the group by section of the RadGrid. The error was occured due to the space in the column name.

I want to catch this error and want to display the message to the user regarding the space in the column name.

So in which event I catch this error ?

Can any one help me regarding the same.

Thanks in advance.

Hi vinit,

You can use square brackets "[" "]" for such field names. You can check this example:

Hello

Thanks for your reply.

I am getting the following error.

Field d not found in the source table. Please check the expression syntax.

Exception Details: Telerik.Web.UI.GridGroupByException: Field d not found in the source table. Please check the expression syntax.

My field name is 'd c', and after the drag the column it is only considered the 'd' and 'd' field not found.

And I want to catch that error in the RadGrid events.

The error was occured after the user drag and drop the column in the group section. It works fine for the without space column i.e. single word column.

Hi vinit,

You probably mean DataField and not UniqueName of the column because it is not expected behavior to experience issues while using spaces in column name.

Unfortunately RadGrid does not support empty spaces, although the DB is able to store these values when wrapped in square brackets. The workaround shall be to use an underscore '_' character instead of empty space.

Regarding the second question - you can catch this exception -> Telerik.Web.UI.GridGroupByException.

Sincerely yours,

Hello Vinit,

Please try this code snippet:

protected void Page_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Exception currentException = Server.GetLastError();

    if(currentException is GridGroupByException)
    {
        Server.ClearError();
    }
}
