Repro steps:
- Make a datatable with a string-column with a max. length of 10 characters.
- Add a row with a string of max. 10 characters.
- Bind it to a RadGridView
- Add an event-handler to DataError which will cancel the action if a data error occurs.
- In the UI, enter data into the cell. Make it longer than 10 characters.
Expected behavior:
- The same behavior as CellValidating.
- De user stays inside the editor so it can modify the text.
Observed behavior:
- The editor is closed, the new text is not displayed.
Hi, Martin,
If you try to set a value to a cell in RadGridView that violates the settings in the DataTable, you are expected to observe the following error:
this.radGridView1.Rows[0].Cells["Title"].Value = "This is a very long string";
The DataError event will play an important role in this situation which allows you to handle this case. This event offers GridViewDataErrorEventArgs which is a derivative of CancelEventArgs from where the Cancel argument is inherited. However, the Cancel argument is not used in this case. It is just enough to subscribe to the DataError event and the above error message wouldn't be shown to the end user. If you decide to notify the user for the incorrect data, you can show a message:
private void radGridView1_DataError(object sender, GridViewDataErrorEventArgs e)
{
RadMessageBox.Show(e.Exception.Message);
}I believe that it would be helpful for achieving your goal.
