Howto limit the a col's length?

I have a DataSet bound to a DataGrid.
In the DataSet has a string col that can has 50 characters
at max.
How can I limit the input length in DataGrid?
Thanks.

Hi Mauricio,

To limit the length of a column, you can try to set the value of the
DataColumn.MaxLength property. For example, the following code limit the
length of a column to 20 characters:

dataset.Tables[0].Column["Name"] = 20;

If the user exceed the limit when inputing on a datagrid, a dialog box will
be shown.

If anything is unclear, please feel free to reply to the post.

Hi Kevin Yu,
It's ok, but I'm using Visual Studio that generate the
DataSet Automatically. Is there a form to limit the col
length using some property window?
Thanks.
Best regards,

Mauricio.

Hi Mauricio,

As far as I know, there isn't such a property window to set it. You have to
set it in code.
