Examples

The ValidationRules property takes a collection of ValidationRule objects. The following example uses TextBox.Text as the binding target property and StartPrice (an integer) as the binding source property. When the user enters a value that cannot be converted to an integer, an exception is thrown, which causes the ExceptionValidationRule to invalidate the target value.

<TextBox Name="StartPriceEntryForm" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1"
    Style="{StaticResource textStyleTextBox}" Margin="8,5,0,5">
  <TextBox.Text>
    <Binding Path="StartPrice" UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged">
      <Binding.ValidationRules>
        <ExceptionValidationRule />
      </Binding.ValidationRules>
    </Binding>
  </TextBox.Text>
</TextBox>

By default, when there is a validation error, the TextBox appears with a red border. Optionally, you can write a custom ErrorTemplate to specify how you want to notify the user when there is a validation error.

Remarks

The WPF data binding model enables you to associate ValidationRules with a Binding object. The ExceptionValidationRule class is a built-in rule that checks for exceptions that are thrown during the updates of the binding source property. You can provide custom logic to specify how the binding engine handles these exceptions by using a UpdateSourceExceptionFilterCallback. For more information, see UpdateSourceExceptionFilter.

An alternative syntax to setting the ExceptionValidationRule explicitly is to set the ValidatesOnExceptions property to true on your Binding or MultiBinding object.

You can create a custom rule by creating a class that derives from ValidationRule. For more information and a detailed discussion of data validation, see Data Binding Overview.
