FIX: You can close a form by using the Close button even if the Cancel property of a Validating event is set to True on an object in a Windows Forms application in the .NET Framework 1.1
Notice
On This Page
SYMPTOMS
In the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1, you may have a control that is contained within a
UserControl object in a Windows Form. When you set the
Cancel property to True in a
Validating event on the control, you expect not to be able to close the form by using the
Close button. However, this operation has not been disabled. Therefore, you can close the form by using the
Close button.
RESOLUTION
This problem has been fixed in the .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 Rollups for System.Windows.Forms.dll package.
