To reproduce: run the attached sample project: 1. Clear the value in one of the cells. 2. Select the empty cell and press Ctrl+C to copy the empty cell. You will encounter the error coming from the GetFormattedCellValue method. Workaround: handle the RadGridView.Copying event private void RadGridView1_Copying(object sender, GridViewClipboardEventArgs e) { if (this.radGridView1.SelectionMode == GridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect) { foreach (var row in this.radGridView1.SelectedRows) { foreach (var cell in row.Cells) { GridViewCellInfo cellInfo = cell as GridViewCellInfo; if (cellInfo != null && cellInfo.Value == null) { cellInfo.Value = ""; } } } } else { foreach (var cell in this.radGridView1.SelectedCells) { if (cell.Value == null) { cell.Value = ""; } } } }
