Hi, Let's say you have a nice separation between your business objects and the GUI, say perhaps the "Humble Dialog" approach. Now you wish to implement form...
... I'm not clear on what you mean by "error providers". Perhaps a simple example program would help? Ron Jeffries www.XProgramming.com There is really no such...
An "error provider" is simply a .NET object that can be associated with an individual control. When you set it's error message property, it suddenly become...
Yes, upon reflection it could be done just as easily using the Humble Dialog approach. Every time a control is left, notify the BO. The BO does a validation...

Are you saying you would put the GUI validation in the GUI? That's what my gut feeling always was, actually. I'm working with large guis with many tabs and...
I'd put the validation logic itself in your model objects, since that's pretty much business logic. I'd have your controller layer invoke your validation...
