I want to validate my data at the typed dataset level and not at the
datagridview / ui level. Data validation is a business rule and as
such should be a different layer then the UI.

Basically, I have a class made for each datatable in my typed dataset.
The class has the abilitiy to fill a specific datatable, do searches
and join etc. I want to place my business logic in this class.
However, the only event I see for a type datatable is the rowchanged
event. I can't figure out how to get the change information per cell.
For example, if someone is changing a cell value from x to b, I want
to validate that change. So I need the proposed value and the existing
value of the cell before I allow it to be changed in the typed
datatable. Is this possible to do, have I overlooked an event for the
typed datatable?

Watson,

AFAIK did you overlook nothing, when you want this you can check per Row as
the event for that is triggering, AFAIK is the cell change in a DataTable
not triggering.

I guess i'm not sure how to figure out what the proposed value is and
what the new value is for each cell of the row. For example, when a
when I hook into a row changing event, how do I iterate through each
cell in that row and get the proposed value and original value?

You can hook into the DataRowChangeEventHandler of a datatable and get
notification when a row changes. However, I want to know which cell in
the row changed and what the proposed and original values are for that
cell - not the entire row itself. I can't see how to do this....

Ah, I think this works to find out if the current and proposed values
are different for a cell in the row changing event:

e.Row["Col Name", DataRowVersion.Original] == e.Row["Col Name",
DataRowVersion.Proposed];
