    <p>I have a WPF DataGrid bound to a DataTable. I fill the underlying DataSet from an arbitrary table in a database. I've attached to both the DataTable <code>RowChanging</code> and <code>RowChanged</code> events. As the user changes a row, these events fire and allow me to validate the row.</p> <p>To get the optimal behavior from the DataGrid, it seems apparent to me that the <code>e.Row.RowError</code> message should be set and and exception thrown from the <code>RowChanging</code> event handler. I have some xaml that marks the row as error in the row header so it's visible and I get a nice tooltip with the error message. By optimal, I mean that the escape sequences that one expects with these grids works as expected when the validation is handled as described. Trying to perform the same validation from the <code>RowChanged</code> event makes for some funky behavior that does not roll back the edits properly.</p> <p>The problem that I have is that I need to update the underlying DataSet so all the DB validation rules are applied and collisions with other user's changes can be detected in the <code>RowChanging</code> handler. If the action fails, I can flag the validation as described. But, the <code>e.Row.RowState</code> comes in as Unchanged and if I pass its containing DataSet to my DB update method, its <code>DataAdapter.Update(myDataTable)</code> method does not see the row as changed and, therefore, does nothing. This behavior contrasts with what would happens when I do the same in the <code>RowChanged</code> handler. At that point, the record (Current/Original/Proposed) values are updated and the record marked Modified. </p> <p>An DataAdapter update at that point results in database activity. But, I'm at the wrong point in the event sequence in the case of a failure. I can flag the error but the rollback behavior for the grid will not work correctly (typically results in the changed cells not rolling back).</p> <p>My question is, how does one get the record (or a copy of the record??) in the Modified state so the database will be updated? I normally use a typed DataSet but this time I am going after arbitrary tables and, therefore, am using a DataSet.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
