[Solved] Validation on GridView when zero rows

[Lance]

Hi,
I've got a page with various controls that are bound to an object and which use the standard validation controls to display any binding errors.  I also have a small telerik gridview control whose itemssource is set to a property of the aforementioned object.  This property has a datatype of List<object> as there is a one - many relationship.  They are not databound the itemssource property is set.  What I would like to achieve is to show a validation message around the gridview if the gridview doesn't contain any records and the validation disappearing if a row is entered into the gridview.  I would like gridview to be surrounded by a red border and the tooltip to be a red box with white text so it looks like the other validations on the page.

Is this possible?  If so, please help.

Thanks.

Hi Tim English,

RadGridView doesn't support such scenarios out of the box. However you could achieve this by surrounding RadGridView with a red border which will become visible when RadGridView is invalid (has no items). Also you could take a look at this blog post for another possible solution.
