Validating Data on a Property Level can't catch the error

[Jagan k]

I have created RadGridview to check the Validating Data on a Property Level. When i run the code and give invalid value, exception is thrown but it wouldn't been caught by the RadGridView. I am Using
WPF 4.0    Version 2010.2 924

Here is the Code

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="565" xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadGridView Name="radGridView1" AddingNewDataItem="radGridView1_AddingNewDataItem" ShowInsertRow="True">
        </telerik:RadGridView>
    </Grid>
</Window>

using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

namespace WpfApplication1
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for Window1.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class Window1 : Window
    {
        public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        public ObservableCollection<Employee> GetEmployees()
        {
            ObservableCollection<Employee> employees = new ObservableCollection<Employee>();
            return employees;
        }

        private void radGridView1_AddingNewDataItem(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewAddingNewEventArgs e)
        {
            e.NewObject = new Employee();
        }

        private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            this.radGridView1.ItemsSource = this.GetEmployees();
        }

    }

    public class Employee
    {
        string _FirstName;

        public string FirstName
        {
            get { return _FirstName; }
            set
            {
                if (value.Length > 5)
                {
                    throw new Exception("Firstname must be less than 6");
                }
                 _FirstName = value;
            }
        }

     }
}

Hi Jagan k,

I followed the steps described here and everything worked as expected. Please try setting the name of a club to any string which length is less than 3 in the attached sample project.

hi,

i have checked your project file and i think the exception is caught by "clubsGrid_CellValidating" event.
when i disable the code of "clubsGrid_CellValidating" event and try the invalid value in the name column, exception is not caught by grid.
I need clarification for property level and not for cell level.
i have check your help file that says property level validation is possible and can be displayed in the grid.
Path in the help file

Controls > RadGridView > Managing Data > Validation > Validating Data on a Property Level

Hi Jagan k,

So, when you comment the code in the CellValidating event the validation is performed on data (property) level only. You will see that the exception is thrown in the setter of the Name property and the cell is in invalid state. What exactly do you expect to happen?

Kind regards,

hi,

   thanks for the reply. as per my view the exception has to be caught by the RadGridView and error message should be displayed in the RadGridView and not by the setter of the Name property. If the mentioned behavior by you is normal then what's the need for Property Level Validation.

Hello Jagan k,

Actually the RadGridView for WPF will display only a tooltip with the exception message in this case. We cannot show the normal error message in WPF (in Silverlight this is possible).
You need to have the latest version (the Q3 Beta scheduled for later today or Monday) or the Latest Internal Build scheduled for later today.
