IValidate Interface

Provides access to members to validate individual features.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

The IValidate interface can be used to validate individual features and objects from geodatabase feature classes and tables.

Members

Description
Method GetInvalidFields Returns all invalid fields.
Method GetInvalidRules The set of all invalid rules.
Method GetInvalidRulesByField The set of all invalid rules for the specified field.
Method Validate Validates the row.

Remarks

The IValidate interface is used to test a row against the geodatabase rules defined for its object class. While the IValidation interface will validate a whole set of rows at once, IValidate operates on just one row; this can be useful if you want to validate the row immediately. IValidate also offers more detailed information on the failures; the Validate method returns an error message, and the other methods help identify what is wrong.

IValidate is not implemented by attributed relationships.
