Assembly:

Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll

Gets the type of validation that this attribute uses.

public string ValidationType { get; }

member this.ValidationType : string

Public ReadOnly Property ValidationType As String

Property Value

String

The type of validation. Valid values are " applicationPoolName", "integerRange", "nonEmptyString", "siteName", "timeSpanRange", and "trimWhiteSpaceString".

Remarks

Attribute validation is done at run time when IIS parses the configuration XML to get a configuration section, and when IIS calls the configuration API to get or set values. If validation fails, the desired operation also fails.

The following table lists the acceptable validation types and descriptions of their uses.

Validation type	Description
applicationPoolName	Validation fails if the application pool name contains invalid characters.
integerRange	Validation fails if the value is outside the specified range, in integers.
nonEmptyString	Validation fails if a string value is set.
siteName	Validation fails if the site name contains invalid characters.
timeSpanRange	Validation fails if the value is outside the specified range, in seconds.

For more information about the format used by these validation types, see the ValidationParameter property.
