I developed a CellHeight dependency property for a user control and used the below code to set the cell height:

Private Sub GridInfragistics_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded

If CellHeight > 0 Then

grdTable.FieldSettings.Height = New FieldLength(CellHeight)

End If

End Sub

It seemed to be working in code. But the actural window which calls the user control threw object null exception for line 'grdTable.FieldSettings.Height = New FieldLength(CellHeight)' in the designer.

Hello Patar,

Thanks for your reply. I still got a window designer problem as I said in my previous post . Please see the details below:

'GridInfragistics is a user control
Private Sub GridInfragistics_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded
        If CellHeight > 0 Then
            grdTable.FieldSettings.CellHeight = CellHeight 'CellHeight is a dependency property
        End If  
End Sub

Here are the errors I got in a desinger window when I when I tried to load the user control in a window:

System.NullReferenceException
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

   at MS.Internal.Threading.ExceptionFilterHelper.TryCatchWhen(Object source, Delegate method, Object args, Int32 numArgs, Delegate catchHandler)

This error didn't affect the runtime performance. It maybe some thing wrong with my other parts of code. But if you could provide a working example by wrapping an xamDataGrid in a user control
with a dependency property and load that user control in another window, it will be great.

Hello Huanhe,

I have been trying to reproduce this exception on my side, but to no avail .Would you attach a small project replicating this so I can investigate it further.

Thanks in advance.

Regards Petar.
