How to turn validation off dynamiclly

11-06-2009 9:02 PM |

I have datagrid in silverlight 3 where I am binding collection of objects to it. One of the column/property of this grid/object has validation to make sure that value is > 0.  I would like to turn that validation off based on the user that is logged in.

How do I turn off validation from C# code behind dynamiclly. 

Thanks.

Since your validation is based on the user log in, I would perform the validation in the property setter of the desired colum based on some static global/class level flag.  In your Silverlight app you can set this flag based on the user log in while logging in.  This way the validation check is performed only when required.  If you turn off validation notifications in Silverlight, you will not get error messages but your data source will not get updated either.  Hence I would rather go with the first approach.
