Hi,
My business objects all inherit from a base CommonEntity, which implements
the IDataErrorInfo interface to catch databinding errors.
Everything works great and the flashy red error icons show up as expected on
my UI views if there is a validation error.
My question is: Is there a way to customize this icon???
Thanks.
Naveen.
You can change the ErrorProvider's icon by setting it's Icon [1] property.

I tried setting a new custom ErrorProvider in my form constructor and setting
it's DataSource to my object. It behaves correctly on validation errors but
the problem is that the default flashing red provider icon ALSO shows up
resulting in 2 error providers. This can be seen if I set the location of the
new error provider to the left of the control. This results in my custom
error provider showing up on the left of the control and the default error
provider on the right of the control. All I am trying to do is not show the
default error provider.
On a related note, is the default ErrorProvider accessible somehow in code?
Thanks.
