Sets the error description string for the specified control.

public:
 void SetError(System::Windows::Forms::Control ^ control, System::String ^ value);
public void SetError (System.Windows.Forms.Control control, string value);
public void SetError (System.Windows.Forms.Control control, string? value);
member this.SetError : System.Windows.Forms.Control * string -> unit
Public Sub SetError (control As Control, value As String)

Parameters

control
Control

The control to set the error description string for.

value
String

The error description string, or null or Empty to remove the error.

Exceptions

control is null.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates using the ErrorProvider class to notify the user of a data entry error. The example creates a Form that contains a TextBox control, a NumericUpDown control, and a ComboBox control, each validating its content, and an ErrorProvider for each control. The example sets error icon options using the BlinkRate and BlinkStyle properties and the SetIconAlignment and SetIconPadding methods. The SetError method is called with or without appropriate error text during a control's Validated event, depending upon the content in the control.
