Hi there,
Another question re: infragistics. The controls on my form specifically the ultrawebgrid cause a validation error in the VS 2005 designer, which prevents me from using the design view in VS 2005.
I know the designer is not much use, but it's helpful if I want to add onclick events to buttons etc. so I really need to get this working. I apologise if the explanation is there in your helpfiles somewhere.
Thanks,
Andy
Hello Andy,
Yes, VS2005 & 2008 have this feature - treat validation warnings as errors and even prevent compilation of the project if there are validation problems (depending on the setting for Section 508, Accessibility, WCAG level 1/2/3, XHTML 1.0 / 1.1 Strict / Transitional, etc).
I can recommend switching this feature off as suggested in this blog post - this should help you continue with the project

As for the speciifc validation warnings autoproduced by grid in certain situations - could you please send a screenshot or more information on how to reproduce that (you can attach file by clicking reply, then finding the "Options" tab above the editing area and uploading from there - I know - not much intuitive and hard to use) - this will certainly provide additional clues and I could probably advise further.
Hi,
Thanks for your time Rumen.
I've seen Scott's blog on this and it's really very helpful. However I really wanted to prevent my infragistics controls from throwing validation errors, preventing me designing my pages whilst maintaining the validation feature. I fully understand why validation was implemented, it's not great, but a big step in the right direction IMO.
I wonder could this be because the controls have been upgraded from a previous version (5.2 - 6.? - 7.2 (current) I think)?
I've attatched a screenshot of the problem. I found the file attatch this time, don't know how I missed it!
