Product Availability
Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.
Description
IValidation interface is a member of the ObjectClass coclass. It is used to maintain rules, and also to validate the workspace or object class based on the rules associated with it. Rules can be added, deleted, and validated through this interface. Also rule objects associated with the object class can be obtained from this interface.
When To Use
IValidation is the interface on a ObjectClass object used to add/delete rules, as well as validate those rules against the current object class. For example, use the IValidation interface to add a connectivity/attribute rule to this particular object class. You can then create a query filter based on this object class and use the validate function to see if there are any features that are considered invalid based on these rules.
