''race condition'' exception in paint method

[Bijeshnath Ravindranath]

Hi,
We use Syncfusion grids, in virtual mode, extensively in our application.
We noticed the following exception from one of our users. We haven't managed to recreate this issue in a development envirnoment, but this is happening inside the syncfusion grid's paint method, so I wanted to know if you have any idea about what may have caused this?

thanks and regards,
Bijesh

Hi Bijesh,

Is it possible that the grid is being updated from multiple threads? Please let us know.

Hi Daniel and Jisha,
We have taken care about not accessing the gird from any thread other than the main app thread. So I do not think that is the issue.
In any case, we were unable to recreate this in our dev environment and so far it has not happened again in release env. So I don't really have anything else to go by. Thanks for the help, I will get back to you if it happens again, and if I can manage to get more information.
regards
Bijesh

Hi, We got this exception again in our app,. This time it happened inside a clippoard copy method call. The stack trace is below.

Please let me know if you have any information about this..

Hi, looks like this tool hasn't encountered described exception inside a clippoard copy method call any more so issue can be closed.
