SPField.GetValidatedString Method

Windows SharePoint Services 3

Used for data serialization logic and for field validation logic that is specific to a custom field type to convert the field value object into a validated, serialized string.

Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in microsoft.sharepoint.dll)

Syntax

public virtual string GetValidatedString (
	Object value
)

Parameters

value: An object that represents the value object to convert.

Return Value

A string that serializes the value object.

Remarks

In a custom type-specific class, override the GetValidatedString method to define the following kinds of logic:

Data-validation, for example, to throw an exception in server-side code if the field is required.
Pre-update data processing, for example, to filter out bad data but not fail validation.
Serialization, for example, to convert a field value object into string format.
