Description
The Validate method indicates whether the row is violating any of its class's rules. A return value of true indicates the row is valid, while a return value of false indicates the row is violating one or more rules.
Remarks
Validate on a row occurs in five steps:
- Validate the subtype
- Validate the attribute rules
- Validate the network connectivity rules (if network feature)
- Validate the relationship rules
- Perform custom validation (using optional class extension)
The validate process stops once a row is found invalid. For example, if a network feature violates an attribute rule, the validation process stops and the feature's network connectivity rules are not evaluated until the attribute rule violation is corrected.
