Parameters
- propertyName

The name of the property on this entity to set. This name cannot be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or empty.

Type: System.Object
The value to test. It may be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is valid for the given property.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| [InvalidOperationException] | if this property is marked with [EditableAttribute] configured to prevent editing. |
| [ValidationException] | if this value is not valid for the specified property. |
Remarks
This method evaluates all the [ValidationAttribute] attributes associated with the specified property and throws a [ValidationException] for the first one that signals a validation error. It also verifies the property is not read-only.
All validation logic is bypassed if this entity is currently being deserialized.
