Name

RowError

Synopsis

String rowError = DataRow.RowError;

DataRow.RowError = rowError;

Gets or sets a value containing the error description text that applies to the entire DataRow.

Example

The following example shows how to set the error text for a DataRow:

DataTable dt = new DataTable();

DataColumn col = dt.Columns.Add("MyColumn", typeof(System.String));

DataRow row = dt.NewRow();

row.RowError = "This row has an error.";

Notes

The RowError property can be set when processing modified data against the business rules. Alternatively, when the Update( ) method of the DataAdapter is called and fails and the ContinueUpdateOnError property of the DataAdapter is set to true, the HasErrors property of the row is set to true and the RowError property is set to the error message. The RowUpdated event handler can be used to determine the status of the update attempt and set the error text for the row as necessary.

Use the GetColumnError( ) and SetColumnError( ) methods to get and set the error description for a particular column.
