Hi

 I am trying to implement a CellValidationRule that will throw an error if a duplicate entry exists in the grid already. 

The problem is that within my custom validation method, the thrid parameter "CellValidationContext context" refers to a cell, and i can not gain access to the grid control from this object.

I can get the parent row "context.Cell.ParentRow" however there doesn't seem to be a link from the cell to the grid control.  The grid control would have Items list which could be used to test for duplicates.

Analysing context under the debugger i can see context.Cell.ParentColumn.DataGridControl, however this is not available from code.

I also saw the post http://xceed.com/CS/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=13649, but context.DataItem can not be cast as a System.Data.DataRow.

Am i missing something here ?

DataGridControl.GetDataGridContext(cell ).DataGridControl;//where cell is a Cell object
