DateTimeOffset causes exception Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: 8. Path '', line 1, position 1.

[Mike]

When binding a grid to a list of objects that contain a datetimeoffset, there is a newtonsoft exception thrown. Changing it to a DateTime fixes it but we can't always change the source objects and creating a wrapper layer is kinda time-consuming. Is this a bug or should I be doing something before using objects with offsets?

We are able to reproduce the reported issue at our end while using Template Columns. Since it is a known issue, we have logged a defect “Script error is thrown with DateTimeOffset property in Grid”. We have fixed the reported issue and fix for the issue will be included in our upcoming Nuget release which is expected to be rolled out on or before 19^th August 2019.

Note: There is a break in the @ref functionality in Blazor with Preview 8.

Please refer to this GitHub thread for more information. 

  

 <EjsGrid @ref="@DefaultGrid" @ref:suppressField > </EjsGrid>
