Namespace: System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations
Assembly: System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations (in System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.dll)
The ValidationResult type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ValidationResult(String) | Initializes a new instance of the ValidationResult class with the specified error message. |
![]() | ValidationResult(String, IEnumerable<String>) | Initializes a new instance of the ValidationResult class with the specified error message and a collection of member names that are associated with the validation result. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ErrorMessage | Gets or sets the error message for the validation result. |
![]() | MemberNames | Gets the collection of member names associated with the validation result. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string value that represents the current validation result. (Overrides Object::ToString().) |
The ValidationResult class stores the outcome of a validation check. The IsValid and GetValidationResult methods return an instance of the ValidationResult class, which contains values to indicate whether the value of the entity member matches the validation attributes applied to that member.
If the value of the member successfully validates, the returned ValidationResult object equals the value of the Success field. To determine whether validation succeeded, you should check whether the returned object equals Success. If the value of the member does not validate, the returned ValidationResult object contains an error message and a collection of member names for the validation error, if they can be retrieved.
