Error after deleting cell contents

I have a grid control with decimal text input that seems to work fine until a decimal number has been entered and then deleted leaving the cell empty when I get a popup error " is not a valid decimal". I would like the user to be able to delete an incorrect entry but this error popup keeps appearing.

Hi Barry, 

Thanks for using Syncfusion products. 

The reported issue may occur, if your Decimal column may be non-nullable column. So, please make your decimal column as nullable column to accept the null type. Please refer the following code example. 

DataTable(C#) 
dt.Columns.Add("Salary",typeof(decimal)); 
dt.Columns["Salary"].AllowDBNull = false; 

List(C#) 
private decimal? samplevalue; 
 
public decimal? SampleValue 
{ 
    get 
    { 
        return this.samplevalue; 
    } 
    set 
    { 
        this.samplevalue = value; 
    } 
} 


Please get back to us if you need any further assistance on this. 

Regards,

Thanks. I was configuring the grid using the Designer so I deleted it completely and configured in using vb code and all is working now. Not sure why it didn't work when using the Designer.

Hi Barry, 
 
Thanks for your update. 
 
By default, if you are configuring the GridControl using designer or form load or constructor, it will be working fine. We suspect that issue may occur based on your code settings. 
 
Anyway we are glad to know that your reported problem has resolved. 
 
Please get back to us if you need any further assistance on this.
