validation of a datagrid

Hi,

I have a windows form with a datagrid. The datagrid is bound to a typed
dataset. Is there a built in validation function for windows forms? To
validate the text boxes i have extended the textbox. However i am not sure
how to perform validation on a datagrid.

should i just catch the sql exceptions?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me, as i havent been able to
find the answer anywhere.

Hi claire,

Why don't you do this:
1. Check for the changes proposed in the datarow
2. Verify whether the changes are valid or not. If not, set the RowError property of the row. This will automatically make the datagrid show the ErrorProvider for that row.

I have two datagrids on a page and each of them allow the user to add rows. On each datagrid I have validation (required field, reg expressions etc) and my problem is that I only want the validation to work on the datagrid which I click add in. At the moment if I click add in one datagrid and haven;t filled out anything on the other datagrid then the validation comes up. Does any one know what I can do to combat this?

Hi, I have a page with a datagrid that you have to scroll to see. I'm using the StrengthControls SmartScroller as recommended to maintain my scroll position. Anyway, inside the datagrid I have fields that require validation. No problem, I put the validators on them and they work just fine... Except for the fact that when a user has an invalid entry and fires a validation event client side the scroll position is reset to the top of the...

Hey all, I've got an asp.net page that has a textbox on it. The textbox has a requiredfieldvalidation associated with it. I've also got a datagrid with the edit,update,cancel links on it. When I run my app, and select the update link on the datagrid my textbox validation fires. Not sure why? Note: if i close the application and restart it it works fine. no error.

Based upon some prevoius postings on what to do for adding a 'add' row to a datagrid I utilize the footer to create the 'add' row. The only issue is that I have it sharing the 'UpDate_Command' and I use an argument to difference between an 'edit' vs. and 'add. But since I have field validation on both 'footer' and 'edit' columns I can't submit my edits since the footer validation kicks in.If I take the validation off then the both work fine...

Hi, I have a DataGrid where in each row has couple of text boxes and an update button. Each row is dynamically generated as the number of rows are not known ahead of time. When the user clicks the update button, I do a postback to capture the data entered. However I dont want to do a postback when the textboxes are empty. How do I prevent this using Clientside validation? This is a common problem and if it has been beaten to death, please...

the Edit, Update, Cancel, and Delete buttons in my datagrid are causing validation elsewhere on the page. I want to specify that these buttons should not cause validation but they have no design time property of causevalidation. How can I keep them from causing validation? Thanks, T

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
