IDataErrorInfo : How to know if all properties are valid?

问题

I have a WPF application(.Net 3.5) which uses the IDataErrorInfo on the ViewModel to validate input.

It works great, the usercontrol get the correct UI feedback.

The problem is that the user can still change the selected element, or save this element.

So my question is: How can I know that all my properties are valid? Or at least that all my displayed values are valid. The goal is to bind some IsActive on this result

回答1:

From your comment on your implementation of IDataErrorInfo change your implementation to this style....

#region IDataErrorInfo Members

public string Error
{
    get { return this[null] }
}

public string this[string columnName]
{
    get
    {
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(columnName) || columnName == "FirstName")
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(FirstName))
                result.Append("Please enter a First Name\n");
        }
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(columnName) || columnName == "LastName")
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(LastName))
                result.Append("Please enter a Last Name\n");
        }
       if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(columnName) || columnName == "Age")
        {
            if (Age < = 0 || Age >= 99)
                result.Append("Please enter a valid age\n");
        }
        return (result.Length==0) ? null : result.Remove(result.Length-1,1).ToString();
    }
}

#endregion


public bool IsValid {
   get { return string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.Error); }
}

Then in your property changed event

if (e.PropertyName == "Error") {
   OnPropertyChanged(this,new PropertyChangedEventArgs("IsValid"));
}
if (e.PropertyName != "Error" && e.PropertyName != "IsValid") {
   OnPropertyChanged(this,new PropertyChangedEventArgs("Error"));
}

For now, I added this method on my model.

    public Boolean IsModelValid()
    {
        Boolean isValid = true;
        PropertyInfo[] properties = GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);

        foreach (PropertyInfo p in properties)
        {
            if (!p.CanWrite || !p.CanRead)
            {
                continue;
            }
            if (this[p.Name] != null)
            {
                isValid = false;
            }
        }
        return isValid;
    }

I bound the object itself on the PropertyChanged event,

    public MyClassName()
    {
        PropertyChanged += CheckModelValidity;
        CheckModelValidity(null, null);
    }

when it change, I call this method, and if the result is different than my actual public member, I update it:

    private void CheckModelValidity(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        bool isModelValid = IsModelValid();
        if(isModelValid!= IsValid)
        {
            IsValid = isModelValid;
        }
    }

And then I can just bind the IsValid property.

I don't know if there is a better solution?
