The following example sets error text for ten rows of a table displayed in a DataGrid control.

Visual Basic
Private Sub SetRowErrors(ByVal table As DataTable)
    ' Set error text for ten rows. 
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 0 to 10
        ' Insert column 1 value into each error.
        table.Rows(i).RowError = "ERROR: " & _
            table.Rows(i)(1).ToString()
    Next
    ' Get the DataSet for the table, and test it for errors.
    Dim dataSet As DataSet = table.DataSet
    TestForErrors(dataSet)
End Sub

Private Sub TestForErrors(ByVal dataSet As DataSet)
    ' Test for errors. If DataSet has errors, 
    ' test each table.
    If dataSet.HasErrors
        Dim tempDataTable As DataTable
        For Each tempDataTable in dataSet.Tables
            ' If the table has errors, then print them.
            If(tempDataTable.HasErrors) Then 
                PrintRowErrs(tempDataTable)
            End If
        Next
        ' Refresh the DataGrid to see the error-marked rows.
        DataGrid1.Refresh()
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub PrintRowErrs(ByVal table As DataTable)
    Dim row As DataRow
    For Each row in table.Rows
       If(row.HasErrors) Then
          Console.WriteLine(row.RowError)
       End If
    Next
End Sub

C#

{
    // Set error text for ten rows. 
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        // Insert column 1 value into each error.
        table.Rows[i].RowError = "ERROR: " 
            + table.Rows[i][1];
    }
    // Get the DataSet for the table, and test it for errors.
    DataSet dataSet = table.DataSet;
    TestForErrors(dataSet);
}

private void TestForErrors(DataSet dataSet)
{
    // Test for errors. If DataSet has errors, test each table.
    if(dataSet.HasErrors)
    {
        foreach(DataTable tempDataTable in dataSet.Tables)
        {
            // If the table has errors, then print them.
            if(tempDataTable.HasErrors) 
                PrintRowErrs(tempDataTable);
        }
        // Refresh the DataGrid to see the error-marked rows.
        dataGrid1.Refresh();
    }
}

{
    foreach(DataRow row in table.Rows)
    {
        if(row.HasErrors)
