export to excel returns KeyNotFoundException
posted

Hi. 

I am trying to do an export to Excel from my grid and am getting the stack dump: 

System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException was unhandled
HResult=-2146232969
Message=The given key was not present in the dictionary.
Source=mscorlib

My exporter is defined like this:
var exporter = new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ExcelExport.UltraGridExcelExporter();
The call that causes the error is this:
exporter.Export( Grid, FileName );

Our grid has 2 bands on it and the second band has 1 row in it.
Each row (Grid.Rows) has a single ChildBand (Grid.Rows[0].ChildBands.Count = 1) and each ChildBand also has 1 row (Grid.Rows[0].ChildBands[0].Rows.Count = 1) with no ChildBands (Grid.Rows[0].ChildBands[0].Rows[0].ChildBands.Count = null).

I know that if I hide the child band then the export works and also does not export the child band.

What I would like to know is what the message: 'KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.' means, what is it looking for specifically and what settings/properties/data might be causing this problem to occur.  Is there some information on the band that I need and am missing, since this seems to fail in GetDocumentBandInfo. 

Thank you for your time and help in this matter.  Anything could be useful.
