DataGridView Question...

[sqlsamurai]

I have validation code in my cellvalidating event. The only problem is that when i move to a new row in my datagrid the validating event fires. Why is this? Obviously I dont want the validating event to fire unless I've tried to enter something in the particular cell. I'm using a DataGridView control in Visual Studio 2005.

Thanks

Samurai, I've had similar problems with my datagrid.

I can tell you what worked for me.

On your form load event, create a pointer to each column, add a handler to each of them, and then create the method you want to fire when the event happens.

Friend WithEvents txtSomeFld As DataGridTextBox

Private sub Form1_Load(byval sender as Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load


  txtSomefld = Me.SomeFld.TextBox

   AddHandler txtSomefld.TextChanged, AddressOf 
  txtSomeFld_changed

End sub

'''''''Other Code ''''

Private sub txtSomeFld_Changed(byval Sender as object, byval e as system.eventargs) 

''' do something'''


end sub

Make sure Me.SomeFld is the actual name of the column in the grid.

You can find this by looking at the Windows Form Desinger generated code. Actually, you should know what it is if you designed the grid, right?

Anyway, hope this helps.
