How to validate a cell is empty in WinForms GridControl?

Validate a cell in grid

To find a cell has a text or empty, it can be achieved by using the HasText property. It will return true if the current cell is having the text, else it will return false in the WinForms GridControl.

HasText gets a value indicating whether Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridStyleInfo.Text has been initialized for the current object.

HasCellValue gets a value indicating whether Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridStyleInfo.CellValue has been initialized for the current object.

GridStyleInfo style = this.gridControl1[RowIndex, ColIndex];

//Check for the current cell is Blank
bool isBlank = !style.HasText;
bool HasValue = style.HasCellValue;

Dim style As GridStyleInfo = Me.gridControl1(RowIndex, ColIndex)

'Check for the current cell is Blank
Dim isBlank As Boolean = Not style.HasText
Dim HasValue As Boolean = style.HasCellValue

The screenshot below illustrates the cell validation.
