Oh man, forgot to add this to the command field in the grid:

<asp:CommandField ... ValidationGroup="UpdateMeasure"></asp:CommandField>

Now everything works :)

Hi' i've just seen you control and implemented. Works great.

I do however have a problem when implementing ValidationGroup like this:

rfv.ValidationGroup = inValidationGroup;

Then the validation stops working. It does display the (!) alright. But it allows for postbacks now :(

Do you know of any issues concerning validationgroup that you should be aware of?

Best regards

Great idea Oscar, but the article listing links are broken and I can't find the solution download.

Thanks!

cj,
I will check with the editors then I will let you a line to tell you how to get the whole project.
Thanks for your comment.

i noticed a sentence saying that we could download the example from the web site. i've looked everywhere i can think of, but i haven't seen a download link.

The new family of bound controls lets developers build data-driven applications almost without writing a line of code at page level, but there's more work to do to build really robust, fully featured controls. With the new version of .NET Framework, developers can extend base controls to build 'powered' ones that satisfy particular needs that base controls can't.
