Datagridview Cellvalidating vs Datagridview CellParsing in C#.Net

cellParsing and CellValidating are events of gridview for windows application.

CellParsing: It occurs when the user leaves edit mode, regardless of whether the value of the current cell has been modified.

CellValidating: it occurs after the cell has finished validating.

CellValidating is used when you want to validate any value like value must be integer. and CellParsing occures when you want
CellParsing event is used to provide custom value conversion to the required type

do you have a button to update records in your form, if so you can write code on button click to update folder name by using directory class.
