Winforms GridView crashes if one assigns a new list of data to the data source after edit.

[Erion]

I have a grid view, which values can be edited by the user. I want to refresh the content of the grid, if the user changes the value of the cell. So say I have : 

1, 2, 3 as the initial state. If the user changes the value 2 to 5, i want the values in the grid to show , 1,5,6. ( this is a new list that's get assigned as data source to the gridview )

My understanding is that in order to refresh the grid. One has to create a new reference of the list and reasign it to the data source. 

When this is done in the CellValueChanged event, the gridview crashes, with the following error. 

How does one refresh the grid view after a value has changed ? 

- Thanks 

Steps to get the error : 

1. Create a GridView 
2. Assign it for data source a list of your favorite object. Strings or what not. 
3. Add a handler for the CellValueChanged. 
4. On the CellValueChanged handler, asign a new list of strings of your  to the grid's data source. 
5. Build start. Edit a cell, and hit enter.

Hello Erion,

Thank you for your question.

Your scenario, rebinding RadGridView in the CellValueChanged event handler, is not valid in older versions of the control. However, it is implemented in the latest version of RadGridView - Q2 2011. Please update your project to this version and let us know if it behaves as expected. If you meet any difficulties regarding the upgrading process, we will be glad to assist you.

Best regards,
Alexander

Hi Alexander, 

So how should I handle this scenario ? Can I use other events, or I should just give up rebinding the grid to a new list on any event handler of the grid ? 

I have put the code on the EndEdit event and I still get the same error. 
- thanks 
I am using 2011.1.11.315 dll's.

Hi Alexander, 

I just updated the dll's to 2011.1.11.510, and I am still getting the crash. 

What do you mean by "Your scenario, rebinding RadGridView in the CellValueChanged event handler, is not valid in older versions of the control " ? 

Invalid as is not supported ? With the latest version from the website, I still have the option to listen to "CellValueChanged". 

Is there a way to refresh all the items in the grid based on change of value of one of the cells ?

Hi Alexander, 

My apologies for the second question. I didn't realize that I only have license for Q1 package. I am in the process of getting the Q2 dlls. 

I'll keep you posted. 

- Thanks .

Alexander, 

I just updated the dll's. 

It works :)
