The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Set focus to original datagrid cell after handling data validation with column changing event

Asked by NeilGrant in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: cell, focus, set, datagrid

I wish to use data validation with a datagrid on a windows form, and when the data is invalid, throw up a message and select/set focus to the original cell in the datagrid in which an invalid entry was enterred.  The datagrid is on a windows form and I am using .NET Framework 1.1

So far I have done the following. As a test I don't allow for "aa" in a column called "Title"

    AddHandler MainDS.Tables("Images").ColumnChanging, AddressOf Me.MyColChanging

    Private Sub MyColChanging(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Data.DataColumnChangeEventArgs)

        If Not IsDBNull(e.ProposedValue) Then       ' this was needed to allow for nulls

            If e.ProposedValue = "aa" Then
                MsgBox("Title should not equal " & e.ProposedValue)
                Throw New Exception("oops")

            End If

        End If

    End Sub

This will show a message and satisfactorily stop "aa" from being added to the "Title" column. However when you move from the cell, whether with mouse or keyboard,  try as I might, I cannot find a way to select the original cell.

Incidentally I have no idea how the "Throw New Exception" works.  When I tried to use an "On Error GoTo" in the handling routine the code in the on error section would run OK, but the invalid data was allowed in the original cell.  Any comments on this would be appreciated also.
