ErrorType Enumeration

Used for specifying what type of error.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Enum ErrorType 
   Inherits System.Enum

public enum ErrorType : System.Enum

Members

Member	Description
Data	Data error
Generic	Generic error
Mask	Mask error
MultiCellOperation	Multi-cell operation. UltraGridOverride.AllowMultiCellOperations property for more info.
Printing	Printing error

Remarks

The ErrorType enum is used by the ErrorEventArgs.ErrorType property of the ErrorEventArgs object.

Example

Following code shows some of the information available in Error event. The UltraGrid fires Error event when there is an error. There are three types of Error events. You can check which type this instance is by looking at the ErrorType property off the passed in ErrorEventArgs parameter. If the error type is Data, then the error occured while trying to commit the user input into a cell. The underlying data source can throw an exception when updating a cell or a row with new user input for example, when the user inputs a value that can't be converted to the underlying column's data type or when the input doesn't satisfy underlyng database constraints. If the error type of Mask, then there was some mask related event.

For an overview of how to handle events in Visual Basic or Visual C#, see Event Handlers in Visual Basic and Visual C#. For specific information and code examples illustrating how to consume events in your application, see Consuming Events in the .NET Framework Developer's Guide.
