Grid Error Reporting When Multiple Object Properties Have Errors

[Carlos]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out what the expected user experience is when you implement INotifyDataErrorInfo and raise the ErrorChanged event with a null value for the DataErrorsChangedEventArgs propertyName parameter. According to the .Net documentation that is used to signal an error that affects multiple properties.

I do see the grid calling the GetErrors with an empty string for the property name which is also supposed to mean get the list of errors for all properties of the object, which I do return a list. What I see the grid doing is just highlighting the row as red and showing the error icon in the RowIndicator column but I am not able to see any sort of tooltip showing me what the error is...Is this related to the known bug mentioned in thread http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/gridview/binding-expression-error-in-new-q2-2010-release.aspx?

The Q1 SP2 release doesn't seem to behave this way but then again it doesn't seem to show the error icon on the row indicator column. I must say this version of the RadGridView is killing me...If it weren't for us adding the use of the IsBusyIndicator control I'd rollback to the Q1 release!

Thanks,

Carlos

Haven't heard back about this one. Just wanted to ping you guys again so that it doesn't get lost with the other tickets I've submitted around the GridView

Hi Carlos Santos,

Currently there is no support for raising ErrorsChanged with a null propertyName parameter but we will consider adding such support. In the mean time you could raise ErrorsChanged for all properties that are not valid.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. I have updated your Telerik points.

Sincerely yours,
