Hi all,

 

For you that have been following my finding a control in a template column
post, this is an extension to it.

 

I have a XML file which is read into a dataset and bound to a data grid -
Nothing special.

 

The XML file structure is as follows:

 

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

<ApplicationSettings>

  <Section Name="EmailSettings">

    <Key Name="Filter Address" Value="email1@m..." />

    <Key Name="Admin Address 1" Value=email2@m... " />

    <Key Name="Admin Address 2" Value="email3@m... " />

    <Key Name="Admin Address 3" Value="email4@m... " />

    <Key Name="Admin Address 4" Value="email5@m... " />

    <Key Name="Subject" Value="Please read the following" />

    <Key Name="Body" Value="Please review the link below" />

  </Section>

  <Section Name="WinSvsSettings">

    <Key Name="ScanTime" Value="1800" />

    <Key Name="GarbageColl" Value="1000" />

  </Section>

  <Section Name="ErrorTrapSettings">

    <Key Name="Error" Value="2400" />

    <Key Name="GarbageColl" Value="2400" />

  </Section>

</ApplicationSettings>

 

The columns/Nodes Key is bound to the data grid.

 

So the data will appear as follows:

 

Row#  EditColumn      NameColumn         ValueColumn

 

Row 1  Edit                 Admin Address 1   email1@m...
<mailto:email1@m...> 

Row 2  Edit                 Admin Address 2   email2@m...

Row 3  Edit                 Admin Address 3   email3@m...

Row 4  Edit                 Admin Address 4   email4@m...
<mailto:email4@m...> 

Row 5  Edit                 Subject                 Please read the
following

Row 6  Edit                 Body                    Please review the link
below

Row 7  Edit                 ScanTime             1800

Row 8   Edit                 GarbageColl          1000

Row 9   Edit                 Error                     2400

Row 10  Edit                 GarbageColl          2400

 

 

On edit command only Value Column becomes "editable", I would put a regular
expression validator for the e-mail addresses in that column. The problem I
now face is that the Value Column does not only "house/display" e-mail
addresses like you can see, so if try and edit row 5 the text box displays
"Please read the following" if I change that the regular expression
validator kicks in not allowing me to format/change the value unless it
adheres to the regex validation sequence.

 

I need advise on how to structure this so that it allows me to edit the
e-mail addresses and be validated and edit the normal text and NOT be
validated using the e-mail regular expression validator.

 

What I was thinking is when any of the admin addresses are clicked all four
addresses will be in the same edit row in text boxes i.e.

 

Row#  EditColumn      NameColumn         ValueColumn

 

Row 1  Edit                 Admin Address 1   email1@m...
<mailto:email1@m...> 

  email2@m...

  email3@m...

  email4@m... <mailto:email4@m...> 

 

maybe this way I can specify that only when txtEmail is created use Regular
expression Validator to validate. I don't know, so anyone that has had
experience with this I would greatly appreciate your help or suggestions.
