How do I Immediately Validate a Newly Inserted Row in a Silverlight 3 Datagrid?

Question

I have a Silverlight 3 tools library with a custom DataGrid user control. This grid has no direct access to the WCF RIA Services entity types so I\'m using reflection to add

Just got this working thanks to some help from this question.

I added the following to the "== Validate data here ==" section in the code from above:

DataGridRow newRow = this._dataGrid.ChildrenOfType<DataGridRow>().FirstOrDefault();
if (newRow != null)
{
    newRow.Loaded += (sender, e) =>
    {
        this._dataGrid.CurrentItem = newItem;
        this._dataGrid.BeginEdit();
    };
}

This forces the first cell to immediately go into edit mode.
