DataViewBase.HasErrors Property

Gets whether the view has any data editing errors posted to a data source. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#

public bool HasErrors { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property HasErrors As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the view has any data editing errors posted to a data source; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the HasErrors property to check whether the view has any data editing errors. The HasErrors property works only if the DataViewBase.ErrorsWatchMode property is set to All, Cell, or Row.

The HasErrors property is updated when you post changes to a data source. Use the DataViewBase.HasValidationError property to check whether the view has any validation errors that prohibit you from posting changes to a data source.

Note

When the DataViewBase.ErrorsWatchMode property is set to All, Cell, or Row, the GridControl revalidates its data during initial loading; this can significantly decrease control 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.
