| ICommand<InvalidRowExceptionArgs> |
A command that is executed when a row fails validation.
|
Bind a command to the InvalidRowExceptionCommand property to maintain a clean MVVM pattern. The command works like an InvalidRowException event handler and allows you to specify an error presentation in a View Model.
Create a command and bind it to the GridViewBase.ValidateRowCommand property to validate entered values. After this command is processed, the GridControl executes a command bound to the InvalidRowExceptionCommand property and allows you to specify how to display validation errors.
Use the InvalidRowExceptionArgs.ExceptionMode property to specify which action to perform when a user enters an invalid value. You can display a message box with an error description, suppress an action, throw an exception, or ignore the validation result.
Refer to the following help topic for more information: Row Validation.
The following example verifies data and does not allow users to move focus to another row until invalid values are corrected:
