Hi all I posted this to this list yesterday and this has not been answered
has anyone got any sort of idea how to resolve this issue?,

 

 

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.
