To reproduce: use the following code snippet, save the layout and load it afterwards. You will notice that only the master and the first child template are successfully loaded.

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
    dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        dt.Rows.Add(i, "Parent" + i);
    }

    this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.DataSource = dt;
    this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.AutoSizeColumnsMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

    //child level 1
    GridViewTemplate template = new GridViewTemplate();
    template.DataSource = GetData(5, 20, 0, 5);
    template.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
    radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Templates.Add(template);

    GridViewRelation relation = new GridViewRelation(radGridView1.MasterTemplate);
    relation.ChildTemplate = template;
    relation.RelationName = "ParentChild";
    relation.ParentColumnNames.Add("Id");
    relation.ChildColumnNames.Add("ParentId");
    radGridView1.Relations.Add(relation);

    //child level 2
    GridViewTemplate template2 = new GridViewTemplate();
    template2.DataSource = GetData(20, 40, 5, 20);
    template2.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
    template.Templates.Add(template2);

    GridViewRelation relation2 = new GridViewRelation(template);
    relation2.ChildTemplate = template2;
    relation2.RelationName = "ParentChild";
    relation2.ParentColumnNames.Add("Id");
    relation2.ChildColumnNames.Add("ParentId");
    radGridView1.Relations.Add(relation2);

    //child level 3
    GridViewTemplate template3 = new GridViewTemplate();
    template3.DataSource = GetData(40, 100, 20, 40);
    template3.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
    template2.Templates.Add(template3);

    GridViewRelation relation3 = new GridViewRelation(template2);
    relation3.ChildTemplate = template3;
    relation3.RelationName = "ParentChild";
    relation3.ParentColumnNames.Add("Id");
    relation3.ChildColumnNames.Add("ParentId");
    radGridView1.Relations.Add(relation3);

    //child level 4
    GridViewTemplate template4 = new GridViewTemplate();
    template4.DataSource = GetData(100, 200, 40, 100);
    template4.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
    template3.Templates.Add(template4);

    GridViewRelation relation4 = new GridViewRelation(template3);
    relation4.ChildTemplate = template4;
    relation4.RelationName = "ParentChild";
    relation4.ParentColumnNames.Add("Id");
    relation4.ChildColumnNames.Add("ParentId");
    radGridView1.Relations.Add(relation4);
}

private object GetData(int from, int to, int parentFrom, int parentTo)
{
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
    dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));  
    dt.Columns.Add("ParentId", typeof(int));
    Random rand = new Random();
    for (int i = from; i < to; i++)
    {
        dt.Rows.Add(i, "Child" + i, rand.Next(parentFrom, parentTo));
    }
    return dt;
}

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string s = "default.xml";
    SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog();
    dialog.Filter = "xml files (*.xml)|*.xml|All files (*.*)|*.*";
    dialog.Title = "Select a xml file";
    if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        s = dialog.FileName;
    }
    this.radGridView1.SaveLayout(s);
}

private void radButton2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string s = "default.xml";
    OpenFileDialog dialog = new OpenFileDialog();
    dialog.Filter = "xml files (*.xml)|*.xml|All files (*.*)|*.*";
    dialog.Title = "Select a xml file";
    if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        s = dialog.FileName;
    }
    this.radGridView1.LoadLayout(s);
}


Workaround: grid templates for the inner levels are recreated after loading the layout. Their DataSource is null and the existing relations points to the old templates. Clear the relations and setup them again with the new  child template instances.

Workaround:

Workaround:

Please refer to the attached screenshot.

Workaround:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add("Id");
    dt.Columns.Add("Name");
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        dt.Rows.Add(i, "Item" + i);
    }

    this.radGridView1.DataSource = dt;
    this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

    this.radGridView1.AllowSearchRow = true;
    this.radGridView1.SearchRowPosition = Telerik.WinControls.UI.SystemRowPosition.Bottom;

    this.radGridView1.ViewDefinition = new CustomTableViewDefition();
}

public class CustomTableViewDefition : TableViewDefinition
{
    public override IRowView CreateViewUIElement(GridViewInfo viewInfo)
    {
        return new CustomTableElement();
    }
}

public class CustomTableElement : GridTableElement
{
    protected override RowsContainerElement CreateViewElement()
    {
        return new CustomRowsContainerElement();
    }
}

public class CustomRowsContainerElement : RowsContainerElement
{
    protected override SizeF ArrangeOverride(SizeF finalSize)
    {
        float y = 0;

        this.TopPinnedRows.Arrange(new RectangleF(0, y, finalSize.Width, this.TopPinnedRows.DesiredSize.Height));
        y += this.TopPinnedRows.DesiredSize.Height + ElementSpacing;

        this.ScrollableRows.Arrange(new RectangleF(0, y, finalSize.Width, this.ScrollableRows.DesiredSize.Height));
        y += this.ScrollableRows.DesiredSize.Height + ElementSpacing;

        this.BottomPinnedRows.Arrange(new RectangleF(0, finalSize.Height - this.BottomPinnedRows.DesiredSize.Height,
            finalSize.Width, this.BottomPinnedRows.DesiredSize.Height));

        return finalSize;
    }
}

Repeat the master template headers right after the end of an expanded detail template. The purpose is clarity for the end user.

The issue can be reproduced with the .40 version of the assemblies and in a scenario in which the grid is added as a RadMenuHostItem to the Items collection of a drop-down button.

Workaround:  set the BindingContext of the grid to equal that of the form: 
public Form1()
{
            InitializeComponent();

            radGridView1.BindingContext = this.BindingContext;
}

To reproduce:

1. Use the following code:
public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radGridView1.EnableFiltering = true;

    GridViewDecimalColumn col = new GridViewDecimalColumn();
    col.Name = "Calculated Column";
    col.HeaderText = "Order value";
    radGridView1.Columns.Add(col);
    radGridView1.Columns["Calculated Column"].Expression = "Freight/Sum(Freight)";
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{ 
    this.ordersTableAdapter.Fill(this.nwindDataSet.Orders);

    this.radGridView1.DataSource = this.ordersBindingSource;
    this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
    
    GridViewSummaryItem summaryItem = new GridViewSummaryItem();
    summaryItem.Name = "Freight";
    summaryItem.Aggregate = GridAggregateFunction.Sum ;
    GridViewSummaryRowItem summaryRowItem = new GridViewSummaryRowItem();
    summaryRowItem.Add(summaryItem);
    this.radGridView1.SummaryRowsTop.Add(summaryRowItem);
    this.radGridView1.SummaryRowsBottom.Add(summaryRowItem);
}

2. Filter the grid by EmployeeID for example. You will notice that the summary item for Freight is recalculated considering the filtered rows. However, the calculated column doesn't update its values.

To reproduce:
- Select several rows and cells in excel and copy them.
- Paste in the self-reference grid.
- Only the first row is copied. 

Workaround:
private void RadGridView1_Pasting(object sender, GridViewClipboardEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = true;

    List<List<string>> rows = this.GetTextData();
    PrintGridTraverser traverser = new PrintGridTraverser(this.radGridView1.MasterView);

    while (traverser.Current != this.radGridView1.CurrentRow)
    {
        traverser.MoveNext();
    }

    traverser.MovePrevious();
    int rowIndex = 0;
    int colIndex = this.radGridView1.CurrentColumn.Index;

    while (traverser.MoveNext() && rowIndex < rows.Count)
    {
        for (int i = colIndex; i < this.radGridView1.Columns.Count && i - colIndex < rows[rowIndex].Count; i++)
        {
            traverser.Current.Cells[i].Value = rows[rowIndex][i - colIndex];
        }

        rowIndex++;
    }
}

To reproduce:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radGridView1.Columns.Add("Name");
    this.radGridView1.Columns.Add("ID");

    this.radGridView1.RowsChanged += radGridView1_RowsChanged;

    }
}

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radGridView1.Rows.Add("Item" + this.radGridView1.Rows.Count);
}

Note: the first firing of the RowsChanged event used to be with Action=Add.

Note: if you change the image in Windows8 theme for example, the image is successfully applied.

Workaround: set the CurrentRowHeaderImage property at run time.

To reproduce
- Set the AutoSize and AutoSizeRows properties to true.
- Start editing a cell.
- Exception occurs.

        this.radGridView1.Columns.Last().FieldName = col.ColumnName;
    }
     this.radGridView1.BestFitColumns(BestFitColumnMode.AllCells); 
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
    this.radGridView1.DataSource = dt; 

    foreach (DataColumn col in dt.Columns)
    {
        this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(col.ColumnName); 
        this.radGridView1.Columns.Last().FieldName = col.ColumnName;
    }
     this.radGridView1.BestFitColumns(BestFitColumnMode.AllCells); 
}

Workaround: clear the GroupDescriptors  collection as well and add the GroupDescriptor programmatically: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/grouping/setting-groups-programmatically

Please refer to the attached screenshot.

To reproduce:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent(); 

    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
    dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));

    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        dt.Rows.Add(i, "Item" + i);
    }

    Random rand = new Random();
    DataTable dt2 = new DataTable();
    dt2.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
    dt2.Columns.Add("Name2", typeof(string));
    dt2.Columns.Add("ParentId", typeof(int));
    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
    {
        dt2.Rows.Add(i, "Child Item" + i, rand.Next(0, 5));
    }

    radGridView1.DataSource = dt;
    radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
    GridViewTemplate template = new GridViewTemplate();
    template.DataSource = dt2;
    template.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
    radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Templates.Add(template);
    template.Columns["ParentId"].IsVisible = false;

    GridViewRelation relation = new GridViewRelation(radGridView1.MasterTemplate);
    relation.ChildTemplate = template;
    relation.RelationName = "MasterDetail";
    relation.ParentColumnNames.Add("Id");
    relation.ChildColumnNames.Add("ParentId");
    radGridView1.Relations.Add(relation);

    this.radGridView1.EnableFiltering = true;
    this.radGridView1.ShowFilteringRow = false;
    this.radGridView1.ShowHeaderCellButtons = true;
}

Workaround: change the Name property of the column in order to avoid duplicated columns: 

template.Columns["Name"].Name = "Name2";

To reproduce:
- Add a grid to a form and set the EnableHotTracking property to false in the properties window.
- When the application is started the property is reset.

Workaround:
Set the property at runtime.

To reproduce:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.order_DetailsTableAdapter.Fill(this.nwindDataSet.Order_Details);

    this.radGridView1.DataSource = this.orderDetailsBindingSource;
    this.radGridView1.EnablePaging = true;
    this.radGridView1.AutoSizeRows = true;
}

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radGridView1.PrintStyle.PrintAllPages = true;
    this.radGridView1.PrintPreview();
} 

Workaround:  refresh the MasterTemplate after the PrintPreview dialog is closed: 

this.radGridView1.PrintPreview();

this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Refresh();

Workaround: change the name of the column
this.radGridView1.Columns["Table:Name"].Name = "Table|Name";

When you export ht grid content to HTML, the exported table contains an 'width' attribute set to 0. It is not possible to change this attribute. This prevents the HTML to be loaded correctly in RadRichTextEditor later.
