Validates the row.
[Visual Basic .NET] Public Function Validate ( _ ByRef errorMessage As String _ ) As Boolean
[C#] public bool Validate ( ref string errorMessage );
[C++]
HRESULT Validate(
BSTR* errorMessage,
VARIANT_BOOL* isValid
);
[C++]
Parameters errorMessage [out] errorMessage is a parameter of type BSTR isValid [out, retval] isValid is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL
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.
Validate on a row occurs in five steps:
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.
