.NET 1.1 SP1 Datagrid throws exceptions where it didn't before!

[Urs Eichmann]

After installing SP1, we have huge problems with a self-grown class
which inherits from Windows.Forms.Datagrid. It throws exceptions every
now and then, such as this:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance
of an object.

Before installing SP1, there was no problem whatsoever with this code.
Now more and more of our customers are installing SP1 because it is a
"critical update" on windowsupdate.com - and our application fails...
Not nice, Microsoft!!! Note that our custom datagrid class only uses
"allowed" methods of inheriting and overriding, no calling of private
methods via Reflection, or similar disallowed things! This MUST NOT
happen with a SP, it HAS TO BE 100 % compatible!

This is just to inform everyone of this problem. Now I'm going to have a
look into the code... hope I can still enjoy my weekend.
