NullReferenceException in ExpandableTextContainer.ApplyWidth

[tim]

Hello,

we sometimes get a NullReferenceException when clicking an item in the tree, that crashes our application.

Code: [Select]

System.NullReferenceException

Having a look into the source code a cast with as is being performed without checking its result before accessing its properties.

Code: [Select]

FlexyNodeData fnd = this.DataContext as FlexyNodeData;
this.marginBorder.Width = GanttTableBase.LevelToIndentWidth(fnd.Level, fnd.IsParentType);

This should be changed into:

Code: [Select]

FlexyNodeData fnd = this.DataContext as FlexyNodeData;
if (fnd != null)
    this.marginBorder.Width = GanttTableBase.LevelToIndentWidth(fnd.Level, fnd.IsParentType);

In the case that crashes the DataContext is a MS.Internal.NamedObject.


Would be great if this could be fixed soon.
