Strange behavior in gridGroupingControl

[vbaker]

I''m getting strange behavior when using a GridGroupingControl on the "detail" side of a master-detail relationship.

When the Master selection is changed, the detail grid updates-- until a certain number of times. Then, either it stops updating or an exception is thrown in the syncfusion.grouping.dll.

To illustrate, in the "TripleMasterDetailGrid" demo, I replaced the detail grid (gridDataBoundGrid2) with a gridGroupingControl, and set its DataSource and DataMember to parentTable and "ParentToChild".

When I run it, after selecting a value from the Master grid the second time, the program crashes and I see the following output in the debugger:

catched at Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableControl.SynchronizeGridWithEngine() in :line 0
An unhandled exception of type ''System.NullReferenceException'' occurred in syncfusion.grouping.dll
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Is there something I should be doing to prevent this, or is it a problem in the gridGroupingControl?

What version are you using? Here is a little sample using 2.1.0.9 that seems to work OK. You might try your sample with the 3.0 beta as well. GGC_TripleMasterDetails_6714.zip

Find attached also a sample that was created for for version 3.0. We will most likely include that as sample in the final release. MasterDetailForm_7540.zip It also shows how to enable binding for some grids and disable binding for others using the BindToCurrencyManager property. Stefan

I am using version 2.1.0.9 that has the 2.1.0.52 patch instaled (which fixed another issue with the GGC). I built and ran your GGCTripleMasterDetail sample and it exhibits the same behavior I reported above.

Is there another patch, or is the version 3 beta pretty stable? (My app is in early testing phase with the customer and stability is very important.)

Thanks,

I think you should try the 3.0 beta. It is stable.

Can you email me the 3.0 beta link? I don''t have it.
