Some alternatives are:
1) Put all the control logic in the Form.Save() method. Personally, I prefer this solution, since: a. it solves this particular problem, b. some values in different fields might be interdependent. And it is very easy to program.
2) Put the "Save" and "Cancel" commands in buttons in a ToolBar - outside the form. Thus, no TextBox.Valid() will be executed.
