ErrorMessage Property

Gets/sets the string that will be displayed to the end user in a MessageBox, describing the reason the parsing operation failed. Applicable only when DisplayErrorMessage is set to true.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property ErrorMessage As String
public string ErrorMessage {get; set;}
Example
The following code sample demonstrates how the NavigationPathParseError event can be used to customize the dialog that appears when the end users inputs a string that cannot be parsed into a valid location, and also how to use the EnteredEditMode event to select only part of the text which appears initially:
