  Data Validation with WCF datacontract

  Jul 27, 2009 01:15 PM | LINK

  I had take a look at sample code of how to do data validation in silverlight .

  But My data is not simple class with some properties ,it was defined in wcf and generated automatically .

   I can't do same thing (to throw exception in set method of property ) ,

  does anyone know how to do data validation with those auto generated object ? 

  Or do something in wcf to make it possible to have the same effect of validation UI . 

  Thanks ....

  Hi,

  One easy approach is to modify the auto-generated code. however, we need repeat modification after each service updating operation.

  Another approach is sharing Entities between WCF and silverlight, check this link

  And using RIA service may also be helpful but little overkilled, it allows define validation rules on server-side entity. you can get hlep document at
