Error provider

jlazanowski posted on Thursday, November 16, 2006

I have a form that is bound to an Employee object. I have a dependent rule that says if the IsSupervisor property = false that the SuperviorID must have a value.

The rule is the easy part, my problem is with the error provider. It's set on the employee binding source. In the form, I have a combo box (bound to a NVL) to populate supervisors. Because the combo is bound to a different object, the error provider won't register on the combo box which is where i want the error to display.

Anyone got a way around this?

Thanks,

Justin

It should work fine. The SelectedItem or SelectedValue property should be bound to something on your Employee object, would it not?

I have a similar combo, but it has departments instead of supervisor and it works fine.

Yes, that works like a charm, of course I only thought of that 10 seconds AFTER I submitted a stupid question Wink [;)]

Thanks,
