public ref class ClassValidationAttribute abstract : public Attribute
Class validators are executed when all arguments have been parsed, and allow you to check whether the whole set of arguments meets a condition. Use this instead of ArgumentValidationAttribute if the type of validation being performed doesn't belong to a specific argument, or must be performed even if the argument(s) don't have values.
If validation fails, the validator will throw a CommandLineArgumentException with the category specified in the ErrorCategory property. The CommandLineParserTParseWithErrorHandling method, the CommandLineParserParseT(String, ParseOptions) method, the generated IParserTSelfParse(ParseOptions), and the CommandManager class will automatically display the error message and usage help if validation failed.
A built-in validator is provided, and you can derive from this class to create custom validators.
ClassValidationAttribute | Initializes a new instance of the ClassValidationAttribute class |
ErrorCategory | Gets the error category used for the CommandLineArgumentException when validation fails. |
TypeId | When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute) |
Equals | Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute) |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object) |
GetErrorMessage | Gets the error message to display if validation failed. |
GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute) |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
GetUsageHelp | Gets the usage help message for this validator. |
IsDefaultAttribute | When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute) |
IsValid | When overridden in a derived class, determines if the arguments are valid. |
Match | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute) |
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
Validate | Validates the argument value, and throws an exception if validation failed. |
