Assembly:: PresentationFramework.dll

Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Runs any ValidationRule objects on the associated Binding that have the ValidationStep property set to RawProposedValue or ConvertedProposedValue. This method does not update the source.

public:
 bool ValidateWithoutUpdate();

public bool ValidateWithoutUpdate ();

member this.ValidateWithoutUpdate : unit -> bool

Public Function ValidateWithoutUpdate () As Boolean

Returns

Boolean

true if the validation rules succeed; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the scenario that is discussed in the Remarks section. The example enables a user to enter data for a library item and submit the data. The binding for the TextBox named callNum has a ValidationRule associated with it. When the TextBox loses focus, the example calls ValidateWithoutUpdate. When the user clicks the submit button, the example calls UpdateSource to commit the changes. The following XAML creates the user interface for the application.

Remarks

The ValidateWithoutUpdate method enables you to run validation rules on a binding without updating the source of the binding. This is useful when you want to validate user input and update the source at different times in an application.

For example, suppose you have a form to update a data source that contains a submit button. You want to provide feedback to the user if an invalid value is entered before the user attempts to submit the form. You can check the validity of a field by setting the binding's UpdateSourceTrigger property to Explicit and calling ValidateWithoutUpdate when the TextBox loses focus.
