Alan,
>Not sure if we are on the same page, Kevin. I am talking about saving a new DB row and we want to ensure a column has certain values before actually hitting the DB. Are your business rules only called when updating values???
You're right...we were on a different page. I thought you were asking about checking rules as soon as a new row was added...
Business rules are checked on both new and updated rows when you save data. What are you doing to add a new row? The best way to do this is call NewEntity().
