Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Validation
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.12.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.12.0.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Enumeration ValidationState
public enum ValidationState
public enum class ValidationState
type ValidationState
public enum ValidationState
Members
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Disabled | Indicates that instances of the class to which this value is applied will not be checked by validation methods for this class. | |
| Enabled | Indicates that instances of the class to which this value is applied will be enabled for validation. | |
| Inherited | Indicates that instances of the class to which this value is applied will be enabled or disabled for validation based on the settings for their parent class. |
Remarks
This enumeration is used as the argument to the class attribute ValidationStateAttribute.
You can apply the ValidationState.Disabled setting to a derived class whose parent is enabled for validation because derived classes have the ValidationState of their parent class by default.
For more information about validation, see Validation in a Domain-Specific Language.
Examples
The following example shows the ValidationState attribute using the ValidationState enumeration to enable validation to occur on the Person class.
