C# WinForms ErrorProvider Control

Question

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a list of controls that have the ErrorProvider icon active. ie. any controls that failed validation. I\'m trying to avoid looping

Answer 1

Just make the errorprovider as a Global variable rather than local variable

public partial class MainForm
 {

    ErrorProvider errorProvider1 = new ErrorProvider();
    void Validate_Working()
    {
    errorProvider1.SetError(textbox1, "textbox is empty");
    errorProvider1.Clear();
    }


 }

from

public partial class MainForm
 {

    Void Validate_NotWorking()
    {
    ErrorProvider errorProvider1 = new ErrorProvider();
    errorProvider1.SetError(textbox1, "textbox is empty");
    errorProvider1.Clear();
    }


 }

This should fix your problem, because probably you might have been removing your errors from another method such as btnCancel_click. This worked for me :)
