• Visual Studio Express Editions VB Express Beta 2 BindingNavigatorDeleteItem creates unhandled exception

  Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious but I'm new to this. I have a simple database with 2 tables, and a Foreign Key constraint between the parent and child tables, such that changes/deletions are not permitted in the parent table if the child table has related rows. I have a form displaying a DataGridView containing the parent table. This all works fine in that a DataGridView.DataError is raised causing a System.Data.InvalidConstraintException, which I can deal with using an event handler for the DatagridView.DataError. However, deleting an invalid row by pressing the BindingNavigatorDeleteItem button crashes with the message "Invalid ...Show All
