[Solved] Vertical bars appearing in GridViewDataColumn as of Q2 SP2

[Mike]

I have just installed the Q2 Sp2 release and now some of my columns have "Vertical Bars" at the start and the end of the field (see screenshot). These did not appear before the update. There is nothing special about the markup for the column. The only thing I can think of is that the column is nchar(10) in the database and is space filled but I am flabergastered as to how the Grid would no this or even care.

The code for the Gridview is very simple.

<telerik:RadGridView Grid.Row="1"
                             Margin="0,0,0,5"
                             AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                             ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=jobDomainDataSource, Path=Data}"
                             Name="jobDataGrid"
                             RowDetailsVisibilityMode="VisibleWhenSelected"
                             SelectionMode="Extended"
                             IsReadOnly="True"
                             IsBusy="{Binding ElementName=jobDomainDataSource, Path=IsBusy}"
                             AutoExpandGroups="True"
                             >
    <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="job_codeColumn" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=job_code}" Header="Job Code" Width="SizeToHeader" />
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="descriptionColumn" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=description}" Header="Description" Width="2*" />
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="division_no_Column" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Division.division_number}" Header="Div No" Width="SizeToHeader"/>
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="division_Column" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Division.description}" Header="Division" Width="*"/>
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="order_codeColumn" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=order_code}" Header="Order Code" Width="SizeToHeader" />
    </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerik:RadGridView>

If someone could look at rectifying this it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

 This looks like a part of the cell data symbol - definitely not part of the grid UI. Can you send us an example where this can be reproduced?

All the best,

Ahh, found it. For some reason the RIA Services Metadata object had the attribute:

            [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString="|{0,10}|")]

I have no idea why it was there in the first place, however it never had any bearing on previous releases. Odd...

Anyway, sorry to have wasted your time.
