To reproduce: private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.customersTableAdapter.Fill(this.nwindDataSet.Customers); this.radGridView1.DataSource = this.customersBindingSource; this.radGridView1.BestFitColumns(Telerik.WinControls.UI.BestFitColumnMode.AllCells); this.radGridView1.AllowSearchRow = true; } Workaround: private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { RadDragDropService svc = this.radGridView1.GridViewElement.GetService<RadDragDropService>(); svc.PreviewDragDrop += svc_PreviewDragDrop; } private void svc_PreviewDragDrop(object sender, RadDropEventArgs e) { GridViewSearchRowInfo.Cancel = true; }
