The alternative is to place validation code in the
GridView.RowUpdating event. There you can use DateTime parsing and any
other checks you wish to make. If the validation fails then the event
argument e (GridViewUpdateEventArgs.Cancel) can be used to abort the
update and return the grid to the edit view (using label controls for
error messages).
