Handling Entity Classes Validation
by azamsharp on 5/6/2008 4:43:47 PM
One of the things that I am really interested in entity classes validation. What is the best practice for validating that the entity class is valid. This means validation properties and stuff. I found that using Custom Attributes is a clean approach and also expandable as you can create more custom attributes.
public class Customer
{

[NotNullOrEmpty]
public string FirstName
{
// whatever
}

}

Customer customer = new Customer();
// assign values to the customer

ValidationEngine.Validate(customer);

if(customer.IsValid) customer.Save();

else // show the broken rules!
Refactor it!
