The event data class exposes the following methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| GetInvalidValues() | Returns a dictionary that contains invalid column-value pairs. Invalid pairs identify values that cannot be accepted by corresponding columns. |
| GetValidValues() | Returns a dictionary that contains valid column-value pairs. Valid pairs identify values that can be accepted by corresponding columns. |
| IsKeyFieldValueValid() | Returns whether the key of the processed node is unique. |
| IsNodeValid() | Returns whether pasted values can be accepted by target columns. Both the pasted values and target columns are specified by the ClipboardNodePastingEventArgs.Values dictionary. |

Remarks
The TreeList fires the ClipboardNodePasting event before a node is pasted to the control from the clipboard. If the clipboard contains multiple nodes, the event fires for each node. Handle this event to modify data or to cancel pasting the processed row.
A node is not pasted to the control if any of its columns cannot accept data being pasted. For example, if data types do not match. You can set the PasteMode event argument to Force to forcibly paste the node.
Use the IsValueValid and IsNodeValid methods to check if a particular value or the entire node is valid.

Note
The ClipboardNodePasting event fires if the PasteMode property is set to PasteMode.Append or PasteMode.Update.
