Hiding nodes in tree view causes exception

[Lenny]

I have a list of nodes in the tree view that I would like to hide.

I use this code:

 NodeList.ForEach(k => {

 try

           {

              k.Visible = false;

            }catch (Exception e){

              Debug.WriteLine(e.ToString());

            }

              });

 Sometimes I get:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

   at Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.MultiColumnTreeView.TreeNodeAdv.set_Visible(Boolean value)

The node I am working on is a valid node. It has text properties and is certainly not null.

What can be going wrong?

Hi Lenny, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support. 

We have checked the reported issue – “Exception was thrown when hiding the tree nodes” in our working sample. Unfortunately we are unable to reproduce the reported issue in our side. Kindly refer to attached video and sample from below location.

Could you please modify the attached sample to reproduce the reported issue? So that it would be helpful for us to proceed further.

Hi Sabaridass,

We have found that the TreeView property of the Node is set to null sometimes after visibility changes (or other behavior).

When we restore that reference, the problem goes away.

Please also check your Visibility setter. Gives a problem if TreeView is set to null

Hi Sabaridass,

We found many other issues related to the node visibility issue. We opened case #234751  in Direct Trac, because we need a faster resolution.

Hopefully they can be addressed.

Thanks

Lenny
