   Are there provisions in the SmartUpdatableBrowser / SmartDataBrowser to visualize dataset errors ?
   
   I'm looking for this in a TransactionCommit style form. There can be errors on multiple rows at the same time.
   
   I'm trying to achieve something like this https://help.infragistics.com/Help/Doc/WinForms/2012.2/CLR4.0/HTML/WinGrid_Display_Row_Cell_Errors_Using_IDataErrorInfo.html

   There is nothing prepared for that behavior in the updatable browser. 
   You can start implementing this by overriding the HandleValidationError method of the SmartUpdatableBrowser class.

   FYI
   I translated the sample into OOABL.Net but I get
   
   Invalid cast from Progress.Data.DummyRow to System.Data.DataRowView,
   System.Data, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
   PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089. (12869)
   
   So I created a tech support case for this
   00522804 Translating Infragistics sample to OOABL.Net results in invalid cast

   The Progress.Data.DummyRow is not representing a grid row. It's the data element that the ProBindingSource binds to. The DummyRow is just a System.Object. So casting it to anything will never be successful.
   
   The implementation seems to rely on the .NET System.ComponentModel.IDataErrorInfo interface. This interface is implemented by the DummyRow class.
   
   In GUI for .NET we're (the AVM is) not simulating binding to a DataRowView, as filtering is done based on the ABL Query, not on .NET rows. 
   
   drv.Row returns the .NET DataRow reference that is represented by the DataRowView. So at this level we'd be similar to the DummyRow.
   
   The way I read the ultraGrid1_InitializeRow code sample, they are setting the RowError property. If the DummyRow from Progress successfully implements the System.ComponentModel.IDataErrorInfo interface, I would expect that this is not needed. I would expect that the System.ComponentModel.IDataErrorInfo implementation is basically a facade to the ERROR-STRING property of the ABL record represented by the ProBindingSource row. Actually the IDataErrorInfo interface provides only read-only property which is in line with my expectation. 
   
   This would probably be an interesting discussion for Progress communities ...
