Object reference not set to an instance of an object when searching

[Rowan]

Hello,

I have a DataGrid that correctly displays the data, however, when performing a search, an exception is thrown: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

From the stack trace, it appears that the problem is something to do with the column type?

   at Syncfusion.EJ2.Base.QueryableOperation.PerformSearching[T](IQueryable`1 dataSource, List`1 searchFilter)
