Grid crashes when datasource function returns zero results
posted

I have my grid set up with a datasource pulling from an ADO .NET Entity Framework model. 

Controller

model.GridModel.DataSource = _db.InstrumentLists.Where(clause, SearchTerm)
                                                                .ToList<InstrumentList>()
                                                                .OrderBy(x => x.Tag)
                                                                .AsQueryable<InstrumentList>();

View

@( Html.Infragistics().Grid("InsrumentListGrid", Model.GridModel)

 

I am setting the DataSource and not the DataSourceUrl on purpose - all the paging, filtering and sorting is done client side.

The records that are pulled out depend on a search string, hence the Where clause.  If the result of the call is zero records, the grid crashes with a Null Reference Exception.

Here's the top of the stack:
