XMLNode.ValidationStatus Property

Gets a value that specifies whether an element or attribute is valid according to the attached schema.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property ValidationStatus As WdXMLValidationStatus
WdXMLValidationStatus ValidationStatus { get; }

Property Value

Type: WdXMLValidationStatus
One of the WdXMLValidationStatus values.

Remarks

The ValidationStatus property can be one of the following WdXMLValidationStatus values:

While these are the only two named constants the ValidationStatus property allows, there are many more unnamed values that come from the MSXML 5.0 component included with Microsoft Office Word.

Examples

The following code example sets the text value of an XMLNode and validates the node by using the Validate method. The example then uses the ValidationStatus property to determine whether the node validated. If the node did not validate, then the example uses the ValidationErrorText property to display the validation error message. This example assumes that the current document contains an XMLNode named CustomerAddress1Node. If CustomerAddress1Node maps to a schema element that has an integer data type, then the validation will fail.

Private Sub ValidateNode()
    Me.CustomerAddress1Node.NodeText = "Nineteen Hundred" 
    Me.CustomerAddress1Node.Validate()

    If Me.CustomerAddress1Node.ValidationStatus = _
        Word.WdXMLValidationStatus.wdXMLValidationStatusOK Then
        MsgBox("'" & Me.CustomerAddress1Node.BaseName & "' validates.")
    Else
        MsgBox("'" & Me.CustomerAddress1Node.BaseName & _
            "': " & Me.CustomerAddress1Node.ValidationErrorText(False))
    End If 
End Sub
private void ValidateNode()
{
    this.CustomerAddress1Node.NodeText = "Nineteen Hundred";
    this.CustomerAddress1Node.Validate();

    if (this.CustomerAddress1Node.ValidationStatus ==
        Word.WdXMLValidationStatus.wdXMLValidationStatusOK)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("'" + this.CustomerAddress1Node.BaseName +
            "' validates.");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("'" + this.CustomerAddress1Node.BaseName +
            "': " + this.CustomerAddress1Node.ValidationErrorText[false]);
    }
}
