We're using an UltraTextEditor for data entry of email data.  If we leave the CharacterCasing as Normal, or change it to Upper, there is no problem.  When we ask the control to display its value in Lower, we have exceptions popping up when we select a parent object that has no data to display.

Our data model exposes the email address in a nested property.  The control is bound to bound to the endpoint in a hierarchy like this:  Company.Employee.Email

We expect that the Employee property might be returning Null.

I haven't been able to recreate the error with a simple example yet.  If/when I do, I will post sample code.

Is there something different about the branch of Infragistics code that handles the Lower (remember, Upper and Normal are okay)?

We are using NetAdvantage 8.3.20083.1009

Thanks,
John
