To reproduce: please refer to the attached sample gif file. Note that it is important that the child template is bound at design time and the columns are automatically generated. 

Workaround: setup the ViewDefinition programmatically:  

To reproduce: run the attached sample project. 

Type "chef" in the search box and then try to sort some of the columns. Click the header cell several times and as a result the exception will occur.

Workaround:

        public class CustomGrid : RadGridView
        {
            public new object DataSource
            { 
                get
                {
                    return (object)base.DataSource;
                }
                set
                {
                    GridViewSearchRowInfo.Cancel = true;
                    Thread.Sleep(100);
                    base.DataSource = null;
                    this.EnableFiltering = false;
                    base.DataSource = value;
                    this.EnableFiltering = true;
                    base.CurrentRow = null; 
                }
            }
        }

Use attached project to reproduce!

Another case is when the font size is changed from the settings dialog - in this case, the row height is not adjusted.

Workaround:
Use the following custom print style:

class MyTableViewDefinitionPrintRenderer : TableViewDefinitionPrintRenderer
{
    public MyTableViewDefinitionPrintRenderer(RadGridView grid) : base(grid)
    {

    }
    protected override int GetDataRowHeight(GridViewRowInfo row, TableViewRowLayoutBase rowLayout)
    {
        int result = base.GetDataRowHeight(row, rowLayout);

        int newHeight = 0;

        if (!(row is GridViewGroupRowInfo))
        {
            foreach (GridViewColumn col in row.ViewTemplate.Columns)
            {
                if (col is GridViewRowHeaderColumn || col is GridViewIndentColumn || !col.IsVisible)
                {
                    continue;
                }

                string value = row.Cells[col.Name].Value.ToString();

                TableViewCellArrangeInfo info = ((TableViewRowLayout)rowLayout).LayoutImpl.GetArrangeInfo(col);
                float cellWidth = (float)info.CachedWidth;
                int currentHeight = TextRenderer.MeasureText(value, this.GridView.PrintStyle.CellFont, new Size((int)cellWidth, 0), TextFormatFlags.WordBreak).Height + this.GridView.Font.Height *4;

                newHeight = Math.Max(newHeight, currentHeight);

            }
        }


        return Math.Max(newHeight, result); 
    }
}
class MyPrintStyle :GridPrintStyle
{
    protected override BaseGridPrintRenderer InitializePrintRenderer(RadGridView grid)
    {
        return new MyTableViewDefinitionPrintRenderer(grid);
    }
}

To reproduce:  run the attached sample project and click the 'export' button. The exported file fill be automatically opened. If you select several cells from the UnitPrice column you will see at the bottom that the cell values ' total is displayed. However, if you include  the summary item's value in the selection its value is not taken into consideration.  If you pay attention to the cell's format, it will be General instead of custom numeric one.

Workaround: 

    Private Sub spreadExporter_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.Export.CellFormattingEventArgs)
        If e.GridRowInfoType = GetType(GridViewSummaryRowInfo) AndAlso e.GridCellInfo.ColumnInfo.Name = "DecimalColumn" Then
            Dim cellSelection As CellSelection = TryCast(e.CellSelection, CellSelection)
            Dim cellFormat As New CellValueFormat("### ### ###.00")
            If cellFormat IsNot Nothing Then
                cellSelection.SetValue(Decimal.Parse(cellSelection.GetValue().Value.RawValue.Replace(" ", "")))
                cellSelection.SetFormat(cellFormat)
            End If 
        End If 
    End Sub

To reproduce, perform the following steps with the attached project:

Step 1: Create Sample Database
==============================
New (Sample1.db)
Import
Save
Close

Step 2:
======
Open (Sample1.db)
Import
Save
Close

Step 3:
======
New (Sample2.db)
Import (Exception)

Workaround:
 radGridView1.GridViewElement.Navigator = new MyNavigator();

class MyNavigator : BaseGridNavigator
{
    public override bool SelectLastRow()
    {
        var enumerator = typeof(BaseGridNavigator).GetField("enumerator", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(this) as GridTraverser;
        enumerator.Reset();
      
        return base.SelectLastRow();
    }
}

To reproduce: 
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
            dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
            dt.Columns.Add("NumberAsShort", typeof(ushort));
            for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
            {
                dt.Rows.Add(i, "Row" + i, i );
            }
            this.radGridView1.DataSource = dt;

Workaround: use the CellFormatting event https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/cells/formatting-cells

Workaround: adjust the cell/row spacing

        this.radGridView1.TableElement.CellSpacing = -2;
        this.radGridView1.TableElement.RowSpacing = -2;

Workaround: 

        private void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            GridDataCellElement cell = e.CellElement as GridDataCellElement ;
            if (cell!=null && cell.SelfReferenceLayout!=null)
            {

                foreach (RadElement item in cell.SelfReferenceLayout.StackLayoutElement.Children)
                {
                    if (!(item is GridTreeExpanderItem))
                    {
                        item.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        item.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible;
                    }
                } 
            } 
        }

To reproduce: run the attached sample project and press the "stream export" button. 

Workaround: use the GridViewSpreadExport https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/exporting-data/spread-export

        Dim spreadExporter As GridViewSpreadExport = New GridViewSpreadExport(RadGridView1)
        Dim exportRenderer As New SpreadExportRenderer()
        Dim fileName As String = "..\..\Export" & DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString().Replace(":", "_") + ".xlsx"
        spreadExporter.RunExport(fileName, exportRenderer)

Use attached to reproduce.
- Check the filter box
- Uncheck the header checkbox.
- The cells are still visible and you cannot click on the data check boxes.

 

To reproduce:
Public Class RadForm1
    Public RadGridView1 As RadGridView

    Private Sub RadForm1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        CreateGrid()
        FormatGrid()
        SetDataSource()
    End Sub

    Private Sub CreateGrid()
        Try
            RadGridView1 = New RadGridView
            Me.Controls.Add(RadGridView1)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(Me, ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
    Private Sub FormatGrid()

        Dim col As GridViewTextBoxColumn
        With RadGridView1
            col = New GridViewTextBoxColumn
            With col
                .FieldName = "FieldID"
                'NOTE: Comment out NullValue = "" to prevent the unhandled exception
                .NullValue = ""
            End With
            .Columns.Add(col)
        End With
    End Sub
    Private Sub SetDataSource()
        Dim table As DataTable = Nothing
        Dim row As DataRow = Nothing
        table = New DataTable("GridList")
        table.Columns.Add("FieldID", GetType(System.Guid))
        row = table.NewRow
        row("FieldID") = Guid.Empty
        table.Rows.Add(row)
        RadGridView1.DataSource = table
    End Sub
End Class

Workaround:
Comment this line 
NullValue = ""

Please refer to the attached sample project. The ResizeColumnsProportionally.gif illustrates the correct behavior of columns resizing. However, if you make a certain column with fixed size, the columns resizing is not proportional any more. The ColumnsWidthNOTAdjustedProportionally.gif demonstrates better the wrong behavior.

Workaround:  handle the SizeChanged event and adjust the columns' width property programmatically in order to obtain the desired widths.

Until the new functionality becomes available you can use the workaround solution in the attached project.

Excel does not support dates prior to 1/1/1900, however,  we could export such dates as simple strings: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/excel-specifications-and-limits-1672b34d-7043-467e-8e27-269d656771c3

How to reproduce:
 public partial class Form1 : RadForm
 {
     public Form1()
     {
         InitializeComponent();

         this.radGridView1.DataSource = this.GetData();

         dt.Columns.Add("Bool", typeof(bool));
         dt.Columns.Add("Date", typeof(DateTime));

         DateTime date = new DateTime(1850, 1, 1);
         for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
         {
             dt.Rows.Add(i, "Name " + i, i % 2 == 0, date.AddYears(i));
         }

         return dt;
     }
     
     FieldInfo fi;

         SpreadExportRenderer exportRenderer = new SpreadExportRenderer();
         spreadExporter.RunExport(@"..\..\data.xlsx", exportRenderer);
     }
 }


Workaround: handle the CellFormatting event
public partial class Form1 : RadForm
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.radGridView1.DataSource = this.GetData();
        this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
    }

    private object GetData()

        Dim decimalColumn = DirectCast(Me.RadGridView1.Columns("Money"), GridViewDecimalColumn)
        decimalColumn.DecimalPlaces = 0
        decimalColumn.FormatString = "{0:C0}"

        Dim dateTimeColumn = DirectCast(Me.RadGridView1.Columns("Date"), GridViewDateTimeColumn)
        dateTimeColumn.FormatString = "{0:D}"

    End Sub

    Private Function GetData() As Object

        dataTable.Columns.Add("Money", GetType(Decimal))
        dataTable.Columns.Add("Date", GetType(DateTime))

        For i As Integer = 0 To 999
            dataTable.Rows.Add(i, "Name " & i, i * 10, DateTime.Now.AddDays(i))
        Next

        Return dataTable
    End Function
