Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridTableRow' to type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridItem'.

[Jonathan Miller]

Hi

I am new with Telerik controls.  They seem simple enough, but I am having an issue with the RadGrid.

When binding data to my RadGrid, I receive this message:
Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridTableRow' to type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridItem'.

Here is my aspx code:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="ugMessages" runat="server"></telerik:RadGrid>

Here is my .cs code:

ugMessages.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
ugMessages.DataBind();

Stack trace:

Server Error in '/pcs' Application.

Any ideas?

Hi Jonathan Miller,

Try binding the Grid using AdvanceDataBinding techniques.
Advanced data-binding

Hi Jonathan

Actully I'm having the same problem, and I'm using Coolite Suite as well. I'm trying to figure out the problem but with no luck. Did you come up with any possible solution to this issue? I dont know of AdvancedDataBinding might work, I'll just give it a shot. Thanks for your attention

Hi Yaser,

The advanced databinding approach should alleviate the issue at your end. If it does not, you can open a formal support ticket, and send us the problematic code, for further review.

Hi Yaeser

With the controls, I was never able to resolve this with Telerik databinding. (Infragistics worked fine)

I haven't tried version 6.0, but Coolite 6.0 will probably be able to replace everything here.

I would recommend using only 1 of the 2 vendors for streamline.

Also, we were using SSL.  I found that Coolite has a great look, but over SSL was unaccecptably slow.  We have redesigned our products for Silverlight 2, now just waiting on Microsoft for final release.

Though it's a learning curve and change from Ajax to Silverlight 2, you'll find no javascript considerations are needed for future browser releases, thus saving you future development cost.

Good luck, sorry I couldn't help further
