How to know programmatically if the grid has any error in Silverlight GridDataControl?

1 min read

GridDataControl enables you to get the error info for each cell using QueryCellInfo event. The HasErrorInfo property indicates you whether the particular cell has any error information or not. When the cell has any error you can use ErrorInfo property to get the error information of that particular cell. Refer the following code snippet.

dataGrid.Model.QueryCellInfo += new GridQueryCellInfoEventHandler(OnQueryCellInfo);
void OnQueryCellInfo(object sender, GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e) //to get error info 
{
    if (e.Style.HasErrorInfo)
        Console.WriteLine(e.Style.ErrorInfo);
    else
        Console.WriteLine("No errors");
}

Here, you can check whether the cell has any error using “HasErrorInfo”. When there is any error, an ErrorInfo displays in the output window, else “No errors” displays in the output window.

Other properties related to ErrorInfo are given as follows.

Property Name	Return Type	Description
HasError	boolean	Checks whether any Error has been initialized for the current object.
Error	string	Contains error information when a text could not be converted to the type specified with CellValueType.
HasErrorAlertText	boolean	Checks whether the current object has any error alert text.
ErrorAlertText	string	Gets or sets the error alert text. Holds the error alert text when importing the excel file to grid.
HasErrorAlertTitle	boolean	Checks whether the current object has any error alert title.
ErrorAlertTitle	string	Gets or sets the error alert title. Holds the error alert title while importing the excel file to grid.
