Is there named brushes or a style for the display of grid validation errors?

[David]

I have implemented validation on the grid, and there doesn't seem to be a way of styling the error messages.

Hi David,

The reason you weren't able to find any style or property on the DataGrid is because it's actually a separate control: ValidationControl, which lives inside the Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives namespace.

This can be targeted directly in a style, for example:

<Style TargetType="primitives:ValidationControl">
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
</Style>

Here's an example of targeting the style, locally scoped to just the DataGrid's resources:

<grid:RadDataGrid >
    <grid:RadDataGrid.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="primitives:ValidationControl">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
        </Style>
    </grid:RadDataGrid.Resources>
...
</grid:RadDataGrid>

Here's a screenshot at run-time:
