To reproduce: - add a RadMultiColumnCombo and bind it to fill with data. Use the following code: this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.EditorControl.SelectionChanged+=EditorControl_SelectionChanged; private void EditorControl_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { radMultiColumnComboBox1.SelectedIndex = -1; } After selecting a new row from the drop down grid, NullReferenceException is thrown.
