    In my CellValidating handler I can set my cell to show the red validation error with 

            e.IsValid = false;
            e.ErrorMessage = "OrderNO must be longer than five characters.";

    But is it possible to set this from outside the grid, i.e. when an async lookup returns some while later.
    Thanks

    I guess it's not possible!
    The only way I can get async validation to work is to use

    INotifyDataErrorInfo


    on the data objects.
    So I and add and remove erros from the object and this show on the grid.

    Hello Jim,

    Indeed, you can work with INotifyDataErrorInfo. Please take a look at this blog post for a reference.
