Validate a Datagrid Edit?

[Don Hans]

Gents,

Trying to use the validation controls to validate a datagrid edit.

I have tried casting the edited cell to a temporary checkbox control, and
then validating that control. However, the validation is not working for
some reason, as the IsValid property is alwyas true, regardless of what &*&^
data I use. I'm thinking that maybe the contol has to have the focus to
validate?

In any case, what is the best way to validate a datagrid cell edit?

Thanks!

Sorry for double post - first one gave an error ;-(

hi Don,
have you placed the validator within the same editItemTemplate as the
control it has to validate. This is the only reason I can think of right now
as to why your validator is not firing. Surely you want to validate when in
edit mode so place your validator within the EditItemTemplate along with the
control its supposed to validate. Should work.
Merry christmas

Ahhh - didnt realize it needed to be in the column with the textbox control

Thanks very much and Happy Xmas!
