SPField.ValidateAndParseValue method

SharePoint 2013

When overridden in a derived class, validates and parses the input value and returns a valid object that can be the value of the field.

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

public virtual Object ValidateAndParseValue(
	SPListItem item,
	string value
)

item: Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem
An SPListItem containing a field whose new value needs to be validated.

value: Type: System.String
A string with the value to be parsed and returned.

Type: System.Object
An object that can be assigned to the field as its value.

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	Item is null.

The default implementation doesn't do any validating, it simply returns the value.

Consider overriding the ParseValue(SPListItem, String) method and calling it as part of your override of this method.
