InvalidRowExceptionEventArgs Class

Provides data for the GridViewBase.InvalidRowException event.

Namespace : DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly : DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

csharp
public class InvalidRowExceptionEventArgs :
    RowEventArgs,
    IInvalidRowExceptionEventArgs
vb
Public Class InvalidRowExceptionEventArgs
    Inherits RowEventArgs
    Implements IInvalidRowExceptionEventArgs

InvalidRowExceptionEventArgs is the data class for the following events:

Remarks

The GridViewBase.InvalidRowException event allows you to override the default error presentation. This event occurs after the GridViewBase.ValidateRow event (provided that the focused row’s validation has failed).

The event parameter’s InvalidRowExceptionEventArgs.ExceptionMode property allows you to specify the action performed in response to entering an invalid value. You can display a message box with an error description, suppress any action, throw an exception or discard new data and revert to an old value. The error description can be specified using the InvalidRowExceptionEventArgs.ErrorText property.

An exception that raised this event is returned by the InvalidRowExceptionEventArgs.Exception property.

To learn more, see Row Validation.

Example

This example shows how to check if a user enters valid data into a row. Handle the GridViewBase.ValidateRow and GridViewBase.InvalidRowException events to validate the focused row’s data. If the data is invalid, do not allow the user to move focus to another row until the invalid values are corrected.

The Task class implements the IDataErrorInfo interface and allows you to get error descriptions for the entire row and individual cells (data source fields). Error icons appear in cells that contain invalid values. Hover the mouse pointer over an error icon to display a tooltip with an error description.
