You can use the required field validator to specify that the cell requires a value.
A validation error occurs if the value is not valid. You can also create an action, such as adding a backcolor to the cell, that lets the user know the value is invalid.
Use the RequiredFieldValidator class to create the validator. Specify a notification type such as CellStyleNotify. Then use the AddValidators method to add the validator to a cell range.
The following image displays a cell with an invalid, empty value.
The following example displays the invalid color if the value is deleted from the cell.
