Hello Alan,
Thanks for sharing the experience in the group.
To specify it more clearly, Validation Controls can't be used to validate
the whole datagrid. On the other hand, you can use the templated columns of
the datagrid along the edit mode. The EditITemTemplate can be configured to
include the textbox hooked up with data. In this same template you can add
a Validation control or custom validation to be set against the TextBox.
When the user selects editing a specific row, The datagrid will
automatically transform the data to be displayed in textboxes. Then the
validation control can validate the user entry.
Please post here if you have follow up questions.
Thanks again for participating the community.
Best regards,
Yanhong Huang
