Properties

	Name	Description
	Categories	Defines when the method to which this attribute is applied will be called.
	CustomCategory	Gets or sets the custom validation category, which can be empty.
	TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IsDefaultAttribute	When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	Match	When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Explicit Interface Implementations

	Name	Description
	_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames	Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.GetTypeInfo	Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount	Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.Invoke	Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Remarks

The Categories property determines when the attribute is used.

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

Examples

The following example decorates a method in the Person class to be invoked when validation occurs. The ValidationCategories enumeration setting indicates when the method will be invoked.

[C#]

[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);
        }
    }
}

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
