Type	Description
EditContext

The edit context if the Grid is being edited; otherwise, null.

Remarks

Call this method to obtain the Grid’s edit context. This context allows you to check whether the data item was modified and its field values are valid. If the Grid is not in edit mode, the GetEditContext method returns null.
