DataBinding Validation Question...

Michael

I've hooked up a TextBox's Text property with the property of a class.
However, when invalid data is entered, the data binding updates the object
immediately. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? Or should I
just re-assign the value to the object directly in this case?
Thanks,

Michael

Michael,

Have you tried to hook up to the Validate event to prevent the value
from being written? You should be able to cancel the action when the
Validate event is fired and prevent the data binding.

Hope this helps.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for posting in the community! My name is Jeffrey, and I will be
assisting you on this issue.

Based on my understanding, you do simple databinding with textbox's Text
propety. But the changed value will immediately update the source
datasource without validate, so you want to validate the data before change
the datasource.

=============== =============== =============== =======
Based on my experience, you may use TextBox.Validat ing event to hook into
the update process.

The Validating event takes a CancelEventArgs , which has one property:
Canel. You can check the updating value in the textbox and if the data is
invalid just set CancelEventArgs .Canel to true. This will prevent the
source from updating.

I have made a test project and it works well.

=============== =============== =============== =======
Please apply my suggestion above and let me know if it helps resolve your
problem.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to post it in the group. I am standing by to be
of assistance.
Have a nice day!!

I haven't been able to find a clear answer to this and I'm hoping someone could enlighten me. As pertains to databinding a control in a repeating fashion(datagrid, repeater, etc.) what event would one handle to get a handle on things just BEFORE the data is bound.

DataBinding

I have tried using Databinding for my application but always seem to find it very restrictive (maybe I don't completely understand it enough).

My question is has anyone really used databinding in anything but the simpliest application...

I have a DataView which filters a DataSet. Bound to this dataview is a ListBox, via its DataSource property. The DisplayMember is the name property of the row. Simple enough so far?
