IDataErrorInfo, implementing, binding to and propagating error messages back to UI

[Charlie Prince]

VB.NET 2012, Windows Form Application
Using the Person Class from Microsoft's web site below
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...v=vs.110).aspx

I bind TextBox1 to the "Age" property of the Person class in the form's Load event. This part works, each time the "Text" property of TextBox1 changes the code in the "Item" property of the Person class is executed.

My question is how does one get the 'error condition' back to the UI where the user can see it when the project type is a (Windows Form Application)?

Public Class Form1
    Private _Person As New Person

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Me.TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", _Person, "Age", False, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged)
    End Sub

End Class

Imports System.ComponentModel
Public Class Person
    Implements IDataErrorInfo

    Private _age As Integer
    Public Property Age() As Integer
        Get
            Return _age
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Integer)
            _age = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Public ReadOnly Property [Error]() As String Implements IDataErrorInfo.Error
        Get
            Return Nothing
        End Get
    End Property

    Default Public ReadOnly Property Item(ByVal columnName As String) As String Implements IDataErrorInfo.Item
        Get
            Dim result As String = Nothing

            If columnName = "Age" Then
                If Me._age < 0 OrElse Me._age > 150 Then
                    result = "Age must not be less than 0 or greater than 150."
                    ' When flow arrives here how to propagate back the UI, show ErrorProvider against TextBox1?
                    Debug.Print(_age.ToString & " " & result)
                End If
            End If
            Return result
        End Get
    End Property
End Class

This works. Needed to add an Error Provider to the form and set the Error Provider's DataSource property to the Person object.

Public Class Form1
    Private _Person As New Person
    Private ep As New ErrorProvider

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Me.TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", _Person, "Age", False, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged)
        ep.ContainerControl = Me
        ep.DataSource = _Person
    End Sub

End Class
