Recursion Problem - breaking out

Thanks Joel, I`m using 2.0

If you are using .NET 3.5, you could also solve this problem with LINQ:

var q = from c in this.Controls.Cast()
        .Where(c => !"".Equals(errorProvider1.GetError(c)))
        select c;
return (q.Count() > 0);

I posted at my blog about this approach.  Thanks for getting me thinking!

Glad you got it working.

This is the fix, got some input from a different forum and fixed it. I didn`t get any exceptions, I just wanted to break the loop when the first condition was met, instead it went back to the recursive function and messed up.

Thanks for your reply, I`m gonna try your fix too , I`ll let you know how it goes.

public bool CheckErrorsPresent(Control Ctrlx)
        {
            bool InvalidBool = false;

            try
            {
                foreach (Control G in Ctrlx.Controls)
                {
                    if (G is TextBox)
                    {
                        InvalidBool = (ErrorProvider.GetError(G).Length != 0);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        InvalidBool = CheckErrorsPresent(G);
                    }

                    if (InvalidBool)
                    {
                        break;
                    }
                }
                return InvalidBool;
            }

            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0} Exception Caught in CheckErrorsPresent", ex);
                return false;
            }
        }

        public bool RX(Control Ctrlx)
        {
            foreach (Control G in Ctrlx.Controls)
            {
                if (RX(G))
                    return true;
                if (G is TextBox && ErrorProvider.GetError(Ctrl).Length != 0)
                    return true;
            }
            return false;
        }


What kind of exception were you expecting?

Try replacing this line;

   RX(G);

with the following:

   if (RX(G))
   {
       InvalidIPX = true;
       break;
   }

That does not work, I tried that earlier, Please have a look at my code and help me think.

Here is my code -

  public bool RX(Control Ctrlx)
        {
            bool InvalidIPX = false;

            foreach (Control G in Ctrlx.Controls)
            {
                if (G is TextBox)
                {
                    if (ErrorProvider.GetError(G).Length != 0)
                    {
                        InvalidIPX = true;
                        break;
                    }
                }

                else
                {
                        RX(G);
                }
            }
            return InvalidIPX;  //Once it reaches here, I want to end the function. Right now it        // goes back to RX(G)
        }


When I step through it everything looks good, but when try to return the InvalidIPX it goes back to RX(G). I just want to return the return the bool and exit out of the function, stop the iteration. Something wrong with my logic?
