DataViewBase.ErrorsWatchMode Property

Gets or sets which type of errors the grid control should detect.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v23.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#

public ErrorsWatchMode ErrorsWatchMode { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property ErrorsWatchMode As ErrorsWatchMode

Property Value

Type	Description
ErrorsWatchMode	One of the ErrorsWatchMode enumeration values that is an error watch mode.

Available values:

Name	Description
None	Grid View does not detect errors during the initial data load.
Default	The error watch mode is disabled by default for the master grid view; for the detail grid view, the error watch mode depends on the error watch mode for the master view.
Rows	Grid View detects invalid rows.
Cells	Grid View detects invalid cells.
All	Grid View detects invalid rows and cells.

Remarks

Use the ErrorsWatchMode property to make the GridControl detect errors in its data.

When the ErrorsWatchMode property is set to Rows or Cells, the GridControl detects invalid rows or cells respectively. When the ErrorsWatchMode property is set to All, both invalid rows and cells are detected.

To disable the errors watching mechanism, set the ErrorsWatchMode property to None.

Note

When the ErrorsWatchMode property is set to All, Cell, or Row, the GridControl revalidates its data during the initial loading that can significantly decrease the control’s performance.

Example

To pass validation data from the GridControl to a view model, use the ReadOnlyDependencyPropertyBindingBehavior to bind the view’s HasErrors property to a view model property. Set the view’s ErrorsWatchMode property to Cells.
