To reproduce: - add a RadGridView with one column - GridViewMultiComboBoxColumn; - set DataSource property of the column; - subscribe to the CellValidating and use the following code: private void radGridView1_CellValidating(object sender, CellValidatingEventArgs e) { e.Cancel = true; } Run the application and select a value from the GridViewMultiComboBoxColumn. When pressing Enter key, InvalidCastException is thrown. Workaround: radGridView1.EditorManager.CloseEditorWhenValidationFails = true;
