how to validate rows only if its been edited or added newly

anna john

In my datagrid view, i am using rowvalidating event to check if 3 of the mandatory columns are filled by the user. but the row validating event is triggered even if i just tab through the rows. How can i restrict this event to fire only for newly added/whenever a row is updated or edited?

Hi Ramesh,
the problem is that whenever i run the program, focus is on first row and it validates the row without me doing any kind of modifications or additions. i do not want that to happen. its causing so many vallidations to trigger. so i was wondering if i am doing it right or should i use some other event. basically i want validations to happen only when new row is inserted/ existing row is updated. if i just tab through the columns of the datagrid , the validations are triggered; which is what i am concerned of.
