Remarks
ValidateEnumeratedArgumentsAttribute is like ValidateArgumentsAttribute, except that if the argument value is enumerable, ValidateEnumeratedArgumentsAttribute will unroll the enumeration and validate each item individually. Existing enumerated validation attributes include ValidateLengthAttribute, ValidateRangeAttribute, ValidatePatternAttribute, and ValidateSetAttribute. PSSnapins wishing to create custom enumerated argument validation attributes should derive from and override the abstract method, after which they can apply the attribute to their parameters. It is also recommended to override ToString() to return a readable string similar to the attribute declaration, for example "[ValidateRangeAttribute(5,10)]". If this attribute is applied to a string parameter, the string command argument will be validated. If this attribute is applied to a string[] parameter, each string command argument will be validated.
