DataGridView::DataError Event

.NET Framework (current version)
 

Occurs when an external data-parsing or validation operation throws an exception, or when an attempt to commit data to a data source fails.

Namespace:   System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)

C#
C++
F#
VB
Copy 
public:
event DataGridViewDataErrorEventHandler^ DataError {
	void add(DataGridViewDataErrorEventHandler^ value);
	void remove(DataGridViewDataErrorEventHandler^ value);
}

The DataError event enables you to handle exceptions thrown in code that is called by the control during data processing operations.

For more information about handling events, see NIB: Consuming Events.

System_CAPS_noteNote

The ColumnIndex and RowIndex properties of the DataGridViewDataErrorEventArgs object associated with this event normally indicate the cell in which the data error occurred. When the error occurs in an external data source, however, the data source may not provide the column in which the error occurred. In this case, the ColumnIndex property typically indicates the column of the current cell at the time of the error.

The following code example demonstrates a DataError event handler. This example is part of a larger example available in the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn class overview topic.

C#
C++
VB
Copy 
private:
    void DataGridView1_DataError(Object^ sender, DataGridViewDataErrorEventArgs^ anError)
    {

        MessageBox::Show("Error happened " + anError->Context.ToString());

        if (anError->Context == DataGridViewDataErrorContexts::Commit)
        {
            MessageBox::Show("Commit error");
        }
        if (anError->Context == DataGridViewDataErrorContexts::CurrentCellChange)
        {
            MessageBox::Show("Cell change");
        }
        if (anError->Context == DataGridViewDataErrorContexts::Parsing)
        {
            MessageBox::Show("parsing error");
        }
        if (anError->Context == DataGridViewDataErrorContexts::LeaveControl)
        {
            MessageBox::Show("leave control error");
        }

        if (dynamic_cast<ConstraintException^>(anError->Exception) != nullptr)
        {
            DataGridView^ view = (DataGridView^)sender;
            view->Rows[anError->RowIndex]->ErrorText = "an error";
            view->Rows[anError->RowIndex]->Cells[anError->ColumnIndex]->ErrorText = "an error";

            anError->ThrowException = false;
        }
    }
