Immediate.Validation

Validating Instances

An instance of an IV object can be validated directly by calling ClassName.Validate(instance);. In the example above, this would look like:

        public void Method(Query query)
{
	var results = Query.Validate(query);
}

      

The results object will contain information on whether the instance is valid, and if not, the validation failures that occurred during validation.

If you would like to throw an exception if the validation fails, you can call ValidationException.ThrowIfInvalid(). This method can be called using the ValidationResult returned from validation if you have already validated it, or using an instance of the object if you would like to validate and throw. Examples:

        public void Method(Query query)
{
	var results = Query.Validate(query);
	ValidationException.ThrowIfInvalid(results);

	// or

	ValidationException.ThrowIfInvalid(query);
}
