Properties

	Name	Description
	Categories	Gets the validation categories for this validation context.
	CurrentViolations	Gets the collection of validation messages for the validation context.
	CustomCategories	Gets the custom validation strings for the validation context.
	ValidationSubjects	Gets the list of model elements to validate.

Methods

	Name	Description
	ConstructValidationMessage	Constructs a validation message. You can override this method to construct a custom validation message.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetCache<T>()	Gets the cache for the specified class.
	GetCache<T>(String)	Gets the cache for the specified class.
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetNavigationProxyModelElements	Gets the proxy model elements when a validation error occurs in the model.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	LogError	Creates a validation error and logs a message into the collection that the validation context maintains.
	LogFatal	Creates a fatal error for validation and logs a message in the validation context.
	LogMessage	Creates a validation information message and logs it into the collection that the validation context maintains.
	LogViolation	Creates a validation error, message, or warning.
	LogWarning	Creates a validation warning and logs the message into the collection that the validation context maintains.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	SetCacheValue<T>	Set the cached object associated with the name
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	TryGetCacheValue<T>	Returns whether the cached object associated with the name exist or not

Remarks

An instance of this class is created every time that the modeling namespace starts the validation checking. This instance is passed into each validation method that you have registered for validation checking.

Each time that a validation method that you write is called, your code can log validation errors by using the LogError, LogWarning, and LogMessage methods. These validation errors are added to the CurrentViolations property of the ValidationContext object.

When the validation is finished, all validation errors, warnings, and messages are represented as collections of LogMessage objects in the CurrentViolations property.

The ValidationContext object is then passed to any subsequent validation methods. The CurrentViolations property contains all the errors, warnings, and messages that were encountered up to that point in the current validation checking.

The next time that validation starts, another ValidationContext object is created. That object is passed to each validation method in turn with errors, warnings, and messages added to that object as they are encountered.

For more information, see Validation in a Domain-Specific Language.

Examples

The following example is a method that is decorated by an attribute that indicates that it is a validation method.

The ValidationContext object that is passed into each validation method contains information about the current validation processing. This information includes the errors, warnings, and messages that accumulated in the validation methods that have already run.

The ValidationContext object has methods that add to the errors, warnings, and messages, such as the LogError method in the following example:

[ValidationMethod
(
    ValidationCategory.Open |
    ValidationCategory.Save |
    ValidationCategory.Menu
)
]
private void ValidateParentBirth(ValidationContext context)
{
    foreach (Person parent in this.Parent)
        {
        if (this.Birth <= parent.Birth)
        {
            context.LogError(
                       "Birth must be after Parent's birth",
                       "FamilyParentBirthError", 
                       this, 
                       parent);
        }
      }
}
