DataGridView row is still dirty after committing changes

`DataGridView.IsCurrentRowDirty` remains `true` after I commit changes to the database. I want to set it to `false` so it doesn't trigger `RowValidating` when it loses focus. I have a `DataGridView` bound to a `BindingList<T>`. I handle the `CellEndEdit` event and save changes to the database. After saving those changes I would like `DataGridView.IsCurrentRowDirty` to be set to `true`, since all cells in the row are up-to-date; however, it's set to `false`. This causes problems for me because when the row does lose focus it will trigger `RowValidating`, which I handle and validate all three cells in. So even though all the cells are valid and none are dirty it will still validate them all. That's a waste. Here's an example of what I have: ``` void dataGridView_CellValidating(object sender, DataGridViewCellValidatingEventArgs e) { // Ignore cell if it's not dirty if (dataGridView.isCurrentCellDirty) return; // Validate current cell. } void dataGridView_RowValidating(object sender, DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs e) { // Ignore Row if it's not dirty if (!dataGridView.IsCurrentRowDirty) return; // Validate all cells in the current row. } void dataGridView_CellEndEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) { // Validate all cells in the current row and return if any are invalid. // If they are valid, save changes to the database // This is when I would expect dataGridView.IsCurrentRowDirty to be false. // When this row loses focus it will trigger RowValidating and validate all // cells in this row, which we already did above. } ``` I've read posts that said I could call the form's `Validate()` method, but that will cause `RowValidating` to fire, which is what I'm trying to avoid. Any idea how I can set `DataGridView.IsCurrentRowDirty` to `true`? Or maybe a way to prevent `RowValidating` from unnecessarily validating all the cells?
