Modifying ActiveCell value while in BeforeCellUpdate
posted

Hi there,

I am trying to find a good way to modify some values in the row I am working on.

The situation is as follows:

I have a grid with a startdate, enddate and duration. On doubleclicking and editting for example the startdate the BeforeCellUpdate is called when leaving the cell.

In the BeforeCellUpdate there are a few checks to see if there are overlaps, etc. and finally I want to set the cells on the selected row so I do the following:

grid.ActiveCell.Row.Cells["ColumnName"].Value = e.NewValue;

Now when editting the cell I get the following exception on this row:

InvalidOperationException

Value property can not be assigned while BeforeCellUpdate event is in progress

I have been thinking of globally setting a variable and updating the values in the AfterCellUpdate but isn't there a better way to resolve this?

Thank in advance!
