How to prevent bad formatted data input in DataGridViewCell

I have an automatically binded DataGridView that obtains data and update data directly from a Strongly Typed Dataset and its TableAdapter.

the DataGridView allows data editing but I'm having issues dealing with bad formatted data input.

For example, one of the columns is a date, formatted in the database as datetime, 11/05/2010. You can edit the date and the DataGridView opens a TextBox in which you can enter letters, simbols and other unauthorised characters. When you finish editing the cell if has such bad data it throws a System.FormatException

How 开发者_JAVA技巧can I prevent some data to be entered?

Is there a way to "filter" that data before it is sent back to the DataGridView?

As Alan said, the key was to handle the cellValidating event. I'll attach some code that helps to handle the value:

public static void CellValidating(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellValidatingEventArgs e)
    {

        string newValue = e.FormattedValue.ToString();
        string oldValue = ((System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView)(sender)).Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].FormattedValue.ToString();

        //i like to check that the value has changed before validating it
        if (newValue != oldValue)    
        {
            if (false)//replace this with actual validation.        
            {
                //if data not valid cancel validation
                e.Cancel= true;
            }
        }

    }

There are Row/CellValidating events on the DataGridView, you can use these to validate input and cancel the event if input is invalid - this leaves the row/cell in edit mode.
