I am creating a winform projects which utilities multiple error providers, I have unique errorproviders for each textBox. I'm trying to iterate through all of them and display all that are present in a messagebox.
So, I know I have to loop through my controls which I am doing correctly all my issue is that I cannot print out the specific textboxes which have errors. This is what I have, however the message Box statement is incorrect.
var errorProviders = new List<ErrorProvider>() {epPrefConTime, epPrefConNumber, epTitle, epEmail, epAlternative, epMobile, epTown, epLandline, epHouseName, epForeName, epSurname, epPostcode, epCountry, epHouseName, epLocality, epCounty };
foreach (Control c in panel1.Controls)
{
if (c is SpellBox)
{
if (errorProviders.Any(e => e.GetError(c).Length > 0))
{
MessageBox.Show(errorProviders.Any(e => e.GetError(c).ToString()));
return true;
}
}
else if (c is TextBox)
{
if (errorProviders.Any(e => e.GetError(c).Length > 0))
{
epCountry.SetError(btn_SaveDetails, "Errors present in form, please review!!!");
return false;
}
}
MessageBox.Show(e.GetError(c));
return true;
}
I'm Mapping my errorProviders in my my Validating events as follows for all 16 textBoxes:
private void txt_Forname_Validating(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
if (util.useUnkownEntity(txt_Forname.Text))
{
UnkownEntity = true;
epForeName.SetError(txt_Forname, "Please use unknow entity!!");
return;
}
else if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(txt_Forname.Text))
{
_IsValid = false;
return;
}
else if (util.IsAllLetters(txt_Forname.Text))
{
epForeName.Clear();
txt_Forname.Text = util.ToTitle(txt_Forname.Text);
_IsValid = true;
UseEntity = false;
return;
}
else
{
epForeName.SetError(txt_Forname, "InValid Forename, please reType!!"); _IsValid = false;
return;
}
}
If someone could help me ascertain how to message out all of my errors provider messages or even Which text boxes the errors are in
