使用IDataErrorInfo在源更新之前进行WPF表单验证

我正在尝试在C#/ WPF / Entity Framework 4.0应用程序中实现优雅的表单验证。我有一个经典的表格(一些文本框和复选框)和一个保存按钮 我只想在用户按下save时更新源(和数据库),我也只想在用户按下save时运行表单验证。

我使用参数UpdateSourceTrigger=Explicit设置所有绑定。我还将所有绑定放在BindingGroup

当用户按下保存时,我会触发绑定组的UpdateSources方法 - 这会在每个绑定上触发UpdateSource。此时(在源更新完成之前)我希望进行表单验证,并在GUI中突出显示错误。如果没有输入错误,则更新应该可以自由进行。

我认为我可以通过在字段绑定的IDataErrorInfo上实现EntityObject并在所有绑定上设置参数ValidatesOnDataErrors=True来实现此目的。

不幸的是,工作,因为如下所述: MSDN Databinding Overview - Data Validation 在“验证过程”标题下

  

5)绑定引擎设置源属性。

     

6)......这是检查ValidatesOnDataErrors设置为true的绑定的点。

这对我来说似乎真的很愚蠢 - 为什么要在数据已经“提交”到对象之后验证数据?我一直在寻找一种方法来获得我想要的行为......有人曾经做过这样的事吗?

所以主要问题是:
如何在更新源之前验证输入,并在验证失败时取消更新?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

必须将值提交给对象,因为IDataErrorInfo仅使用propertyName来检索特定属性的错误。无法将建议值(应该验证)传递给它,因此只能使用提交的属性值。

我认为这是一个很好的方法,因为视图模型和视图总是同步的,即使属性具有无效值并且视图模型中保留了无效值状态,因此基于该信息的附加逻辑可以包含在视图模型中而不是观看。

如果要将建议值验证传播到视图模型,则必须使用自己的自定义接口和验证规则。

以下是我如何完成它:

<强> IProposedValueErrorInfo.cs

using System.Globalization;

namespace WpfApplication
{
    public interface IProposedValueErrorInfo
    {
        object GetError(string propertyName, object value, CultureInfo cultureInfo);
    }
}

<强> ProposedValueErrorValidationRule.cs

using System;
using System.Globalization;

using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;

namespace WpfApplication
{
    internal sealed class ProposedValueErrorValidationRule : ValidationRule
    {
        private readonly DependencyObject targetObject;
        private readonly DependencyProperty targetProperty;

        public ProposedValueErrorValidationRule(DependencyObject targetObject, DependencyProperty targetProperty)
            : base(ValidationStep.RawProposedValue, true)
        {
            if (targetObject == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException("targetObject");
            if (targetProperty == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException("targetProperty");

            this.targetObject = targetObject;
            this.targetProperty = targetProperty;
        }

        public override ValidationResult Validate(object value, CultureInfo cultureInfo)
        {
            var expression = BindingOperations.GetBindingExpression(this.targetObject, this.targetProperty);
            if (expression != null)
            {
                var sourceItem = expression.DataItem as IProposedValueErrorInfo;
                if (sourceItem != null)
                {
                    var propertyName = expression.ParentBinding.Path != null ? expression.ParentBinding.Path.Path : null;
                    if (propertyName != null)
                    {
                        var error = sourceItem.GetError(propertyName, value, cultureInfo);
                        if (error != null)
                            return new ValidationResult(false, error);
                    }
                }
            }
            return ValidationResult.ValidResult;
        }
    }
}

        public ProposedValueValidationBindingExtension(Binding binding)
        {
            if (binding == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException("binding");

            this.binding = binding;
        }

        public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
        {
            var provideValueTarget = serviceProvider != null ? serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IProvideValueTarget)) as IProvideValueTarget : null;
            if (provideValueTarget != null)
                this.binding.ValidationRules.Add(new ProposedValueErrorValidationRule(provideValueTarget.TargetObject as DependencyObject, provideValueTarget.TargetProperty as DependencyProperty));

            return this.binding.ProvideValue(serviceProvider);
        }
    }
}
