  Vista or Win 2008 server
  
  Problem description: Playback a right click on a third party
  control, crashed the AUT. This is .Net4.0, even though it is not
  supported we should not crash AUT.
  
  This happens on Vista and on 2003. AUT is here:
  https://ecurep.mainz.de.ibm.com/aexfiles/pmr/9/3/93854%2C019%2C8
  66/support_files/SCADALocal.zip
  
  Steps to reproduce the crash:
  Unpack to your local drive
  Find the
  C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\Services file and open it in
  Notepad.
  Then at the bottom of the file paste in the following entries:
  
  rtrdb1old      11001/tcp RTRDB1OLD
  jcp1  11002/tcp JCP1
  arbitrator1    11003/tcp ARBITRATOR1
  rdi3000        11004/tcp RDI3000
  abrdi        11005/tcp ABRDI
  opcclientrdi 11006/tcp OPCCLIENTRDI
  pb  11007/tcp
  rtrdb1  11101/tcp
  rtrdb1  11101/udp rtrdb1ready
  rocrdi  11140/tcp ROCRDI
  roctelnet      11145/tcp ROCTELNET
  
  Save the services file and double-click the 'DB' link in the
  AUT's folder.Then double-click the 'Container' link.
  
  You will see a list window coming up.
  Record a new RFT script.
  Mark any entry in the list that is not showing an 'Acknowledged
  Time' yet.
  Right-click an entry in the list.
  click on 'Acknowledge' on the context menu.
  Crash.
  
  Expected : Even if this AUT uses 4.0 we are in the understanding
  that it should not crash.With the crash we even have no chance
  of developing a proxy for this control.
  Actual : Crashed AUT.

  Due to a miss in the index check for the datagrid, there was
  a null reference error in the AUT. Fixed this.
  

Problem conclusion

• The addition for the index check has fixed the null
  reference error and the aut crash.
