Validator.GetService(IServiceProvider) Method

Takes an IServiceProvider instance as a parameter and returns an instance of IRuleSet.

Namespace: DevExpress.Persistent.Validation

Assembly: DevExpress.Persistent.Base.v24.2.dll

#Declaration

public static IRuleSet GetService(
    IServiceProvider serviceProvider
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
serviceProvider IServiceProvider

An object that implements the IServiceProvider interface.

#Returns

Type Description
IRuleSet

An object that implements the IRuleSet interface.

#Remarks

Use this method to access an object that implements the IRuleSet interface. Refer to the IRuleSet topic for more information.

The GetService method can be used in both .NET applications and older .NET Framework applications to access IRuleSet. In .NET Framework applications, this method accepts null as the serviceProvider parameter (the XafApplication.ServiceProvider property always returns null under .NET Framework).

#Example

The following code snippet demonstrates how to use the Validator.GetService method to access an IRuleSet instance and use it to trigger validation against a specific object and context, and then handle the result:

File: MySolution.Module.Controllers.MyController.cs

using DevExpress.Persistent.Validation;
// ...
namespace MySolution.Module.Controllers;
public partial class MyController : ViewController {
    // ...
    protected override void OnActivated() {
        base.OnActivated();
        RuleSetValidationResult result = Validator.GetService(Application.ServiceProvider).ValidateTarget(
            View.ObjectSpace, 
            View.CurrentObject, 
            "MyContext"
        );
        if (result.ValidationOutcome > ValidationOutcome.Information)
            ((Contact)View.CurrentObject).Notes += "[Validation Error] " + result.Results[0].ErrorMessage;
    }
}
