Setting column restrictions in a dataset

[goneWildCoder]

Hi all,

I have a dataset and I want to ensure that the user enters 2 characters for the first column. How do I do this?

I used MaxLength -->
dataSet11.Division.Div_CodeColumn.MaxLength = 2;

but this allows input of characters at most 2 characters in length ie it allows input that is less than 2 characters in length. How do i disallow this ?

you should add a code snippet that verifies the minimum length of the text when the user changes the current cell (CurrentCellChanged) or when the datagrid looses focus(Leave). if the text is less than two characters popup an error message and set the datagrid's current cell property to the cell that is not ok.

if you still need help, post back.
