Thanks for the answer,

with the XamDataGrid, I can easily define ValueConstraints.

But this errors are only shown in the specific cell.

My goal is, to have a separate column with an icon,
displayed when the row contains any errors. So, the user can filter or search after errors.

I found the properties Host.DataError, Host.HasDataError in the documentation but
I can't bring that together.

Perhaps someone has done that before?

Hi,

I am glad you managed to resolve your issue. Thanks for sharing it.

Hi,

finally, I found a solution.

It's a bit simpler than yours.

I've attached it, if someone need to resolve the same problem!

Thanks again....

Hi

The main issue is that you have more than one column that needs to be validated. In order to say that a record Has Errors you need to check all Price cells for errors. Also you need to update this Has Erorrs whenever a price field gets modified. I modified your class to include a dictionary for the errors and added HasErrors property that checks the count of the errors to evaluate if a record or MyClass object is valid. The validation is using the PriceValidationRule so the logic is reused. However the implementation is almost the same as implementing IDataErrorInfo Interface. I modified your sample so you can take a look. If your requirements do not allow modifying the business object to include other properties it may not be possible to achieve the behavior you describe.

Let me know if this works for you or if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Hi,

let me try to explain it one more time.

At First, I prefer to use a XamGrid because of performance and features...

The point is, that I don't want to implement the IDEI. That's because there are already some ValidationRules in my company,
which we use in many projects. For example to validate the price in many ways.

But there is no way (I know), to use ValidationRules with the fields or row on a XamGrid.
So I want to use the  ConditionalFormat feature to achieve this.

I've created an own FormatRule, called: ValidationFormatRule.
Here, I can specify a style to apply, if the result of the validation rule, set on the ValidationFormatRule, is not valid.

But for the user, it is very unhandy to scroll through 10000 rows, to see, if there are any errors left.

That's why I need an additional column (Name it ErrorColumn), that indicates, there is one or more errors in this row and,
the important thing, he can set a filter on this column, so he can see only the rows, which have errors.

The problem I have now is, the ErrorColumn need to know, If there is any error or conditional format on any cell in the current row.
Furthermore, the ErrorColumn needs different values, if there are errors or not. Because of the filter function.

In the IDEI scenario, there is a property on the business object, that indicates that (HasDataErrors).

This is the connection I am looking for. 

Here is the example, with the additional classes, but the logic on the ErrorColumn is missing!
