Hi,

We are currently having issues running our application on Windows 7 tablet PC's. When the grid has data, we get a NullReferenceException. I found it that the exception will not occur when removing a specific column definition from the gridview:

<telerik:GridViewColumn     CellTemplate="{StaticResource StatusButtons}"
                                            IsFilterable="False"
                                            MaxWidth="120"
                                            MinWidth="120"
                                            />

The application works fine on non-touch devices, but on touch devices (Win 7, .Net 3.5) the error occurs. Stopping the "Tablet PC Input" service does not help as mentioned in other threads.

The exception plus stacktrace

How can we solve this issue?

Kind regards,

A few questions

Is there anyway to delay the execution of the query? What I'd like to do is create the datasource. Bind a DataFilter to it, then bind a gridview to the filtered source. But I'd like to not show any results in the gridview until the user has added filters. Basically use this as a searching mechanism.

Is this possible?

Also, are there any samples on how to use this in an MVVM scenario using QueryableEntityCollection<T> in the viewmodel?

Get all appointments per resource

Hi there

I'm grouping appointments on a day view by employees (EmployeeResource) so I see all the employee's appointments for the day on a column. Now, in the header template, I would like to show a total of hours already assigned (basically the sum of appointments durations.

The dirty version would be to provide such a total as a property of the EmployeeResource and update my resources on all edited/created/deleted events. However, I'm hoping there's a more elegant approach to this.

Thanks for your advice

Binding RadGrind to Business Object Displays Empty Values

I am trying to bind a RadGrid to a generic list of custom class through OnNeedDataSource. The grid displays the correct number of rows, however, the values for the fields are empty. I can bind to a datasource object without a problem, but I am going to be adding additional functionality where this method will be necessary. For simplicity sake, I am just trying to bind a single exposed property from the custom class object.

.ASPX

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">

</telerik:RadScriptManager>

<div>

<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" AllowPaging="True" ID="RadGrid2" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid2_NeedDataSource" Width="600px" PageSize="8">

<MasterTableView Width="100%" >

<Columns>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Project Name" DataField="name" ></telerik:GridBoundColumn>

</Columns>

<NoRecordsTemplate>

<div style="height: 30px; cursor: pointer;">

No items to view</div>

</NoRecordsTemplate>

<PagerStyle Mode="NumericPages" PageButtonCount="4" />

</MasterTableView>

</telerik:RadGrid>

</div>

</form>

Bound GridViewSelectColumn

I know this question has been asked before, but I haven't seen a good, simple answer.

I want to add a GridViewSelect column that is bound to my ViewModel. I know it's been said that the built in GridViewSelectColumn simply doesn't support this. And that there are some virtualization issues if you try to bind to the actual GridViewRow/Cell.

I just want a nice simple, generic (not tied to my specific model, and not reliant on Bindings without Converters) implementation. I'd rather not add a dependency on Blend Interactivity.

Can this be accomplished by simply sub-classing GridViewSelectColumn or GridViewDataColumn? Or can I set the cell header style to be bound somehow?

I'm just looking for a simpler implementation than what I've seen already.

Thank you.
