list controls and the CustomValidator

[2obvious]

I'm using a CustomValidator within a datagrid control. I'd like to
get the index of the item (i.e. row of the datagrid) when the
validator is fired and use this number in my custom function. Can
this be done?

(Following is an answer I received, in a different post.)

Use can use the parent control to find the index. All Controls have
parents and children, you can move up and down the node list to find
the one you are looking for. You can shorten the code, I just wanted to
make sure you saw the levels. Also a while back I was trying to deal
with CustomValidators in datagrids, I seem to recall some issues with
that just FYI. Hope this helps AuSable Troutbum


'Find the The control that is firing event
Dim valCustomControl As New CustomValidator
valCustomControl = sender


'Find the Parent Cell of Validation Control
Dim cell As TableCell = valCustomControl.Parent


'Find the Datagrid Item
Dim dgItem As DataGridItem = cell.Parent


'Set the Row
Dim myRow As DataRow =
DataSet.Tables("YourTableName").Rows(dgItem.ItemIndex)
