I have a datagrid with Edit, Update, Cancel.
Everything without validation works fine but when the user edits the
date column I would like the regularExpressionValidator to display the
error message in the ValidationSummary when incorrect

Any help is appreciated.

<asp:datagrid
id="dgTrainingDates"
CssClass="btc_formBlackL"
Runat="server"
DataKeyField="Training_ID" OnCancelCommand="dgTrainingDates_CancelCommand"
OnUpdateCommand="dgTrainingDates_UpdateCommand"
OnEditCommand="dgTrainingDates_EditCommand"
GridLines="None"
BorderWidth="0"
BorderStyle="NotSet"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
EnableViewState="true">

<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn>
<HeaderStyle CssClass="btc_formPurpleL"></HeaderStyle>
<HeaderTemplate>Training Dates</HeaderTemplate>

<ItemTemplate><%# container.dataitem("TrainingDate")%></ItemTemplate>

<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox id="UdateTrainingDate" CssClass="btc_formBlackL"
