It's with other grids as well, these kind of things happen, it's mostly due to event crap: bound element gets changed THROUGH the grid, raises event by itself to signal a container that it is changed, which signals the form it is changed which then tries to update the grid... oops...
Though indeed, these error messages aren't really helpful, though after a while you know where to look .
What I find weird about the devexpress grids is the designer... I can never get used to that one.
A grid that raises its own MessageBox in a live application is of no use to me. Its not the error that I was bothered about particularly (although it does suck), it was the way it dealt with it. Janus support was good if there was a known answer to a question but myself and a colleague found that more and more we found limitations in the product and the support response was "Thats just the way it works-tough". The above was just the last straw.
You were looking at v3 or later weren't you? As far as I can see, the v3 and above designer blows Janus away completely! Want to add functionality to an existing view? You can just inherit from an existing view, register it with the designer and get full WYSIWYG at design time!
