Hi
I'm trying to handle errors on a form with about two dozen fields using the VB.Net Error Provider control. I started by adding one for each user input field, but then I realised that three properties for each Error Provider were appearing in every other control on the form.

I suppose this isn't really a "problem", but after adding the 20 or so Error Provider controls I need, I'll end up with 60 additional properties in every other control on the form.

I can only assume I'm doing something wrong. I thought that by dragging an Error Provider onto a control it would associate itself with that control, but it's associated with the entire form instead.

My only other alternative is to add in a whole lot of labels, but I figured since the control was there....

Any advice would be appreciated.
