This new API will be useful for implementing custom sorting scenarios when you need to have custom sorting only for a single column.

A similar API is available for the filtering functionality (MasterTemplate.DataView.FilterEvaluate)

To reproduce: we have a RadPageView with two grids on two pages. The first grid has a ColumnGroupsViewDefinition applied. When you open the Property Builder and try to hide some of the columns, the error occurs.

Workaround: make the changes programamtically at run time.

To reproduce: please refer to the attached gif file and sample project

Workaround: set the AutoSizeRows property to false

Use attached to reproduce.

Workaround:
class MyGridCheckBoxHeaderCellElement : GridCheckBoxHeaderCellElement
{
    public MyGridCheckBoxHeaderCellElement(GridRowElement row, GridViewColumn col) : base(col, row)
    {
    }
    bool suspenUpdate = false;
    protected override void checkbox_ToggleStateChanged(object sender, StateChangedEventArgs args)
    {
        suspenUpdate = true;
        base.checkbox_ToggleStateChanged(sender, args);
        suspenUpdate = false;
    }
    protected override void SetCheckBoxState()
    {
        if (!suspenUpdate)
        {
            base.SetCheckBoxState();
        }
        
    }
}

private void RadGridView1_CreateCell(object sender, GridViewCreateCellEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Column != null&& e.CellType == typeof(GridCheckBoxHeaderCellElement))
    {
        e.CellElement = new MyGridCheckBoxHeaderCellElement(e.Row, e.Column);
    }
}

To reproduce: run the project, select the grid and press Tab. You will notice a message box for the first grid which won't be shown for the second in the popup.

In self-reference if you bind the grid to a record having is ParentId the same as its Id, the grid will try to create a row which is parented by itself. This is not valid input data and we should throw a proper exception, otherwise the application will freeze.

How to reproduce: 
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
    private BindingList<DataObject> data;

    public Form2()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.radGridView1.AutoGenerateHierarchy = true;
        this.data = new BindingList<DataObject>();

        int count = 10;
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
        {
            DataObject p = new DataObject();
            p.Id = i;
            p.Name = "Parent " + i;
            this.data.Add(p);

            for (int j = 0; j < count; j++)
            {
                DataObject c = new DataObject();
                c.Id = count + j + i * count;
                c.Name = "Child " + i;
                c.ParentId = i;
                this.data.Add(c);
            }
        }

        this.radButton1.Click += RadButton1_Click;
    }

    private void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (this.radGridView1.Relations.Count > 0)
        {
            this.radGridView1.Relations.Clear();
        }

        this.radGridView1.DataSource = this.data;
        this.radGridView1.Relations.AddSelfReference(this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate, "Id", "ParentId");

    }
}

public class DataObject
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public int ParentId { get; set; }
}


Workaround: set the ParentId of the parent records

int count = 10;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
    DataObject p = new DataObject();
    p.Id = i;
    p.Name = "Parent " + i;
    p.ParentId = -1;
    this.data.Add(p);

    for (int j = 0; j < count; j++)
    {
        DataObject c = new DataObject();
        c.Id = count + j + i * count;
        c.Name = "Child " + i;
        c.ParentId = i;
        this.data.Add(c);
    }
}

    }

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

        this.radGridView1.DataSource = this.GetData();
        this.radGridView1.EditorRequired += RadGridView1_EditorRequired;
    }

    private void RadGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)

    }

    private DataTable GetData()
    {

            dt.Rows.Add(r);
        }
        
        return dt;
    }
}

Workaround: the scenario is not completely valid as when handling the EditorRequiredEvent one should use the GridTimePickerEditor
1. Use the column`s EditorType property: 
((GridViewDateTimeColumn)this.radGridView1.Columns["Date"]).EditorType = GridViewDateTimeEditorType.TimePicker
2. Alternatively, handle the event this way:
private void RadGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radGridView1.CurrentColumn.Index == 0)
    {
        e.Editor = new GridTimePickerEditor();
    }
}

To reproduce: run the attached sample project and click the new row.

Workaround: don't call the Begin/EndUpdate methods in the CurrentRowChanged event.

    }

To reproduce: bind the grid to a DataTable where one of the columns doesn't allow null values. Try to add a new record by using the new row in the grid. Even though you specify default values in the DefaultValuesNeeded event, the error still occurs. Please refer to the attached sample project and gif file.

Workaround: handle the RadGridView.DataError event:

private void RadGridView1_DataError(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewDataErrorEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Exception.ToString().Contains("does not allow nulls"))
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}

Currently, DisplayFormatType.GeneralDate, DisplayFormatType.ShortDate, DisplayFormatType.MediumDate all return culture's DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern. 

Workaround: 
GridViewDateTimeColumn columnDateTime = this.radGridView1.Columns["Date"] as GridViewDateTimeColumn;
columnDateTime.ExcelExportType = DisplayFormatType.Custom; 
columnDateTime.ExcelExportFormatString  = "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss";

How to reproduce check the attached project: 

Workaround: Create a custom spread export renderer

public class MySpreadExportRenderer : SpreadExportRenderer
{
    public override void AddWorksheet(string sheetName)
    {
        string name = "";

        Workbook wb = (Workbook)typeof(SpreadExportRenderer).GetField("workbook", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(this);
        if (sheetName == null || sheetName == string.Empty)
        {
            name = "Sheet_" + (wb.Worksheets.Count + 1);
        }
        else
        {
            name = sheetName;
        }

        if (wb.Worksheets.Where(w => w.Name == name).ToList().Count == 0)
        {
            base.AddWorksheet(sheetName);
        }
        else
        {
            typeof(SpreadExportRenderer).GetField("worksheet", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).SetValue(this, wb.Worksheets.Add());
        }
    }
}

When I add summary rows to my radgridview. something strange is happening.
I demonstrate it to you in two pictures. please take a look at attachments

Hi Mostafa,

The end users can copy a single cell even when the SelectionMode is set to FullRowSelect via the ContextMenu when opening it on any of the data cells. If the context menu is opened on the row header they will select the whole row. Please check the attached video: radgridview-context-menu-behavior.gif.

If you would like to copy a single cell using the Ctrl-C command and have the grid setup in FullRowSelect mode please check the attached project featuring a solution. I am also attaching a video showing the result using the custom implementation in the project: radgridview-full-row-ctrl-c.gif

Use attached to reproduce.

Workaround:

class MyViewDefinition : TableViewDefinition
{
    public override IRowView CreateViewUIElement(GridViewInfo viewInfo)
    {
        return new MyTableElement();
    }
}
class MyTableElement : GridTableElement
{
    public override void DpiScaleChanged(SizeF scaleFactor)
    {
        if (this.ViewTemplate != null)
        {
            base.DpiScaleChanged(scaleFactor);
        }

    }
    protected override Type ThemeEffectiveType
    {
        get { return typeof(GridTableElement); }
    }
}

//use the above definition like this:

 radGridView1.ViewDefinition = new MyViewDefinition();

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 = "";
            }
        }
    }
}

Workaround: handle the TextChanging event and store locally the old value
 private void RadGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
 {
     RadDropDownListEditor editor = e.ActiveEditor as RadDropDownListEditor;
     if (editor == null)
     {
         return;
     }

     RadDropDownListEditorElement element = (RadDropDownListEditorElement)editor.EditorElement;

     element.TextChanging-= Element_TextChanging;
     element.TextChanging += Element_TextChanging;
     element.ValueChanging -= Element_ValueChanging;
     element.ValueChanging += Element_ValueChanging;
 }

 object oldValue;
 private void Element_TextChanging(object sender, TextChangingEventArgs e)
 {
     oldValue = e.OldValue;
 }

 private void Element_ValueChanging(object sender, ValueChangingEventArgs e)
 {
     Console.WriteLine("ValueChanging");
     Console.WriteLine("Old " + oldValue);
     Console.WriteLine("New " + e.NewValue);
 }
