what do you want to do when you focus on the cell? or would you like the incorrect data to be highlighted?
e.g say in cell-1 the value should be 11 however the value entered is 14, do you want the cell to be highlighted to inform the user that the information is correct?

hi reid,
if am enter wrong data in cell-1 the focus will remain on the same cell(cell-1) while am pressing 'tab'..
for eg: 2 is the correct value for cell-1 but i entered 3 and press 'tab'..at that time focus will remains in same cell(cell-1) itself instead of move to cell-2......

Hi,

Use CellValidating event of DataGridView to validate cell values.

Steps:
- Use DataGridView's CellValidating event,
- Get the cell for which the event is called,
- If the cell is in EditMode then,
- Perform validation.
