This is my first post, so be gentle.

I need to add in field validation to my data grid, when a row is in 'edit' mode.

I have no idea where to even start on this. can some one point me in the right direction pls.

Thanks you

In your <edititemtemplate> tag, add your textbox controls or whatever you are trying to validate and add your validator here as well.

This is an example:

<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txt" CssClass="inputEdit" Runat=server>
</asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="RequiredFieldValidator1" ControlToValidate="txt" runat="server">Required</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</EditItemTemplate>

I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.
Unless, of course, you want to hire me to do work for you.
