Only display validation errors after trying to save?

Hey all,

In my application, I have a requirement that ErrorProviders should only display the error icon after the user attempts to save the form.

For most controls on most forms, while a bit of work, this is not too bad - just refrain from setting the errorprovider's datasource until the form is saved.

However, I can't seem to remember how to get this to work with a DataGridView.

It's been a long time since I put the ErrorProvider icons on my forms.  Does the DGV need an ErrorProvider, or does it do its validation on its own?

How do I prevent the error icon from appearing in a DGV until after the user has attempted to save the form?

DGV has ShowCellErrors and ShowRowErrors properties, is that what your after?
