IRule.Validate(Object) Method

Checks that a particular object satisfies the Validation Rule.

Namespace: DevExpress.Persistent.Validation

Assembly: DevExpress.Persistent.Base.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

RuleValidationResult Validate(
    object target
)

VB.NET

Function Validate(
    target As Object
) As RuleValidationResult

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
target	Object	The object to check.

Returns

Type	Description
RuleValidationResult	A RuleValidationResult object which represents the results of checking the specified object via the Validation Rule.

Remarks

When implementing the IRule interface, this method should contain the logic that checks whether the target object is valid. In the method’s body, after checking the target object, instantiate a new RuleValidationResult object and pass the validation results as the constructor’s parameters. The instantiated object should be returned as the method’s return value.
