Summary

Shows how to validate user input in a WPF MVVM Application using the IDataErrorInfo Interface.

Excerpt

"When writing data-centric apps, validating user input becomes an important design consideration. One of the most important considerations is when to validate the input. Do you validate the input only after the user has tried to save the data, or do you validate as the user is busy entering the data. Personally, I believe that it is better to validate as the user is busy entering the data, before the user tries to submit it. Luckily for us, the .NET Framework comes with an Interface for just such situations, the IDataErrorInfo Interface. By implementing this interface in your models, combined with WPF data binding, user input validation becomes automatic, and implementing validation becomes merely a choice of how to present the validation errors to the user."
