GridGroupingControl new row

[Bart Coppens]

Hi,

I am using a GridGroupingControl with a typed DataTable as datasource. This typed datatable has a primary key which is a integer that increments automaticly and is bound in de control's Init-event.

This datatable is stored in the session, because I don't want it to be static. Although I tried my thing with a statis datatable and that doesn't work either.

I can edit existing rows and my datatable is updated with the new data, so that works fine. But when I edit the new row and leave the row or accept the changes using the buttonbar an Exception is thrown: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

So, data is bound in Init and Primary Key is set, but I still get this exception...

Hi Bart,

Sorry for delay in getting back to you.

We thought viewstate is not maintained in your scenario, but still we are not sure. Although we tried to reproduce the issue as you mentioned but we couldn't. so could you please update us with the sample which causes this issue. It will help us to come up with solutions.

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

Here it is (I had to cut it out of the rest of the code, so I had to hack some things). So I can edit the two rows and they are updated in the datasource behind, but I can't add a new row.

Thanx

Hi Bart,

As you mentioned, we could reproduce this issue. So we need to look bit more for some workaround and let you know in another "2" days.

Hi Bart,

We checked for a while, but still we are not sure why this error occurs. so we have attached a sample which will bind the grid to datasets with addnew row functionality. Please download the sample by clicking the link below, and do let us know if you are able to reproduce the error in this sample

I think, you might have missed to give adding new record feature for DataSet schema in your application, but not sure this causes the issue.

Hi B,

Thanks to your example I had I 'brain wave' :-). What went wrong in my code is that I bound a instance of a typed DataTable to the datasource of the grid. Your control expects a DataSet. My error occurs when no dataset is defined.

So, when I have a DataSet called MyTypedDataSet with a table in it called MyTypedDataTable I can't do this (adding won't work):

MyTypedDataSet.MyTypedDataTable dtInstance = new MyTypedDataSet.MyTypedDataTable();
// Fill table
grid.DataSource = dtInstance;

I have to do it like this:
MyTypedDataSet dsInstance = new MyTypedDataSet();
// Fill table
grid.DataSource = dsInstance;
grid.DataMember = "MyTypedDataTable";

Apperently, if the datasource is a datatable, you are doing something with the instance.DataSet, but that can be null...
