public:
 void Validate(System::Object ^ value, System::ComponentModel::DataAnnotations::ValidationContext ^ validationContext);
public void Validate (object value, System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.ValidationContext validationContext);
public void Validate (object? value, System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.ValidationContext validationContext);
member this.Validate : obj * System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.ValidationContext -> unit
Public Sub Validate (value As Object, validationContext As ValidationContext)

Parameters

value
Object

The object to validate.

validationContext
ValidationContext

The ValidationContext object that describes the context where the validation checks are performed. This parameter cannot be null.

Exceptions

Validation failed.

The current attribute is malformed.

IsValid(Object, ValidationContext) has not been implemented by a derived class.

Remarks

This method calls the IsValid method to determine whether the object that is specified by the value parameter is valid. If the IsValid method returns false, this method calls the FormatErrorMessage method to get a localized message that states the problem. It then throws a ValidationException exception.
