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.) | |

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.) | |

Remarks
The Categories property determines when the attribute is used.

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);
}
}
}
