Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the Web Part properties need to be validated; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The value of the ShouldValidate property is always true unless the Web Part's properties are being deserialized with the data retrieved from the SharePoint Foundation database. In this case, the properties do not need to be validated because they were previously validated before storage, and the ShouldValidate property value will be false. This property is available only at runtime.
