[Solved] Directly typing in the time

[Terry]

As long as I pick a time from the dropdown, everything works OK, but in the RowValidating event, if I type a time directly into the textbox and then click on another row, the e.Row.DataContext still has the old value.  However, if I tab to the next column, the value is updated.

I think this is a bug.  The DataContext should update, no matter how you exit the cell, prior to the RowValidating event.

So, to give you a specific example, here is my RowValidating code:

        private void gvTimeSheet_RowValidating( object sender, GridViewRowValidatingEventArgs e )
        {
            ChargeInfo chg = e.Row.DataContext as ChargeInfo;

            // require end time > starttime and <= 12 hours
            // OK to roll over to next day
            TimeSpan ts = chg.EndTimeSpan - chg.StartTimeSpan;
            if ( ts == new TimeSpan( 0, 0, 0 ) )
            {
                MessageBox.Show( "Start time cannot equal end time" );
                e.IsValid = false;
                return;
            }
            else if ( ts < new TimeSpan( -12, 0, 0 )  || ts > new TimeSpan( 12, 0, 0 ) )
            {
                MessageBox.Show( "Individual time charges > 12 hours are not allowed." );
                e.IsValid = false;
                return;
            }
        }

If I edit a row with an 11:00 AM start time and a 1:00 PM end time, changing the end time to 11:01 PM, I should get an error message since the elapsed time is greater than 12 hours, but if I exit the end time field by clicking on another row in the same column, the end time in the DataContext is still 1:00 PM and no error is triggered.  If I come back to the row to edit it again, the DataContext and the underlying binding have the new invalid time, 11:01 PM.

How can I resolve this problem?

Thanks,

Terry

Another thing I just noticed:  When I revise a time by directly editing the textbox and then tab to the next field, the old value is displayed.  When I click back into the time textbox to put it in edit mode, the new value is then displayed. 

Here's what the xaml for the time columns looks like:

                    <!-- Start Time -->
                    <radGridView:GridViewDataColumn Header="Start Time"
                        DataMemberBinding="{Binding StartTimeSpan, Mode=TwoWay}">
                        <radGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <TextBlock Text="{Binding StartTimeSpan, Converter={StaticResource TimeSpanToStringConverter}}" />
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </radGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <radGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <radInput:RadTimePicker TimeInterval="0:15:0"
                                     SelectedTime="{Binding StartTimeSpan, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </radGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                    </radGridView:GridViewDataColumn>

                    <!-- End Time -->
                    <radGridView:GridViewDataColumn Header="End Time"
                        DataMemberBinding="{Binding EndTimeSpan, Mode=TwoWay}">
                        <radGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <TextBlock Text="{Binding EndTimeSpan, Converter={StaticResource TimeSpanToStringConverter}}" />
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </radGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <radGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <radInput:RadTimePicker TimeInterval="0:15:0"
                                     SelectedTime="{Binding EndTimeSpan, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </radGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                    </radGridView:GridViewDataColumn>
