In my form I have a bindingnavigator linked to a bindingsource to allow the user to create new records. There are certain validation rules for each field to ensure that fields are of a certain type or not null etc

I can't figure how to perform this validation when the save \ add new button is clicked on the bindingnavigator. surely this is a very common scenario? reading some posts on here suggests subclassing bindingnavigator and overriding capturing the left mouse click and doing validation there. there has to be a more intuitve way to do this.

thanks

Hi,

You can add your validation in save and add button click event.

private void SaveButton_Click(System.Object sender,

System.EventArgs e)

{

if (validation() == true)

{

TableAdapterName.Update(DataSetName.TableName);

}

}

public bool validation()

{

...

}
