Event Data

The CustomIsEmptyValue event's data class is CustomIsEmptyValueEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Handled	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the event handler has completely handled the event or whether the system should continue its own processing. Inherited from HandledEventArgs.
IsEmpty	Specifies whether or not the validation rule’s target property value is considered to be empty.
PropertyName	Gets the name of the validation rule’s target property.
PropertyValue	Gets the validation rule’s target property value.
ServiceProvider	Gets the IServiceProvider used to access the application’s services.
TargetObject	Gets the validation rule’s target object.

Remarks

Note that the event occurs at the validation process of each rule to determine whether a property value should be considered empty.

Handle this event to determine when the RuleRequiredFieldAttribute validation rule considers that its target property has a value. Access the handler’s CustomIsEmptyValueEventArgs.TargetObject, CustomIsEmptyValueEventArgs.PropertyName and CustomIsEmptyValueEventArgs.PropertyValue parameters to implement the custom validation logic. Pass the validation result via the handler’s CustomIsEmptyValueEventArgs.IsEmpty parameter and set the Handled parameter to true.
