Hi!
Showing a row error message and the warning icon can be achieved by implementing the IDataErrorInfo interface in the data source that's used for the grid, but I'd like to do the same for the child-items in the lazy-loaded hierarchy view (i.e. show a row error for the main object if one of the sub items is incorrect, but after expanding the child items also show an error icon for the individual sub-rows that are incorrect), but somehow the grid is ignoring the IDataErrorInfo implemented in the child objects. Is this an intended behaviour?

Hello, Tibor,
According to the provided information, it is not clear enough how the lazy-loaded hierarchy setup. Could you please elaborate? Are you using the load-on-demand approach? Or the automatically generated hierarchy?
I have prepared a sample project where the grid's source contains a collection of schools where each school has a collection of students. Here is the complete code snippet:
BindingList<Student> collectionOfStudents = new BindingList<Student>();
BindingList<School> collectionOfSchools = new BindingList<School>();
public RadForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
collectionOfStudents.Add(new Student(0, "Peter", "A+"));
collectionOfStudents.Add(new Student(1, "John", "D-"));
collectionOfStudents.Add(new Student(2, "Antony", "B+"));
collectionOfStudents.Add(new Student(3, "David", "A-"));
collectionOfStudents.Add(new Student(4, "John", "D-"));
collectionOfSchools.Add(new School(1, "Test School", collectionOfStudents));
this.radGridView1.AutoGenerateHierarchy = true;
this.radGridView1.DataSource = collectionOfSchools;
this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Templates[0].AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
this.radGridView1.TableElement.RowHeaderColumnWidth = 50;
}
public class School : System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged, IDataErrorInfo

int m_id;
string m_name;
BindingList<Student> m_students;

public School(int m_id, string m_name, BindingList<Student> students)
{
this.m_id = m_id;
this.m_name = m_name;
this.m_students = students;
}
public int Id
{

this.m_id = value;
OnPropertyChanged("Id");

}
}The errors are indicated for the parent and for the child rows as expected:
I have attached my sample project. Please give it a try and see how it works on your end. Am I missing something? Could you please specify the exact steps how to reproduce the problem?
However, if you need to indicate the errors in any other situations, note that the CellFormatting event allows you to do it. Please have a look at our Demo application >> GridView >> Manipulate data >> Indicate errors:
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
