Windows application validation

If you have custom validation that takes place after the Validating event, it won't affect the data binding. For example, if you have code in a Validated event that attempts to cancel the data binding, the data binding will still occur. In this case, to perform validation in the Validated event, change the control's Binding. Never , and add your-control.

WriteValue to your validation code. So when does a control's data get validated? This is up to you, the developer. You can use either implicit or explicit validation, depending on the needs of your application. The implicit validation approach validates data as the user enters it. Validate the data by reading the keys as they're pressed, or more commonly whenever the user takes the input focus away from the control.

This approach is useful when you want to give the user immediate feedback about the data as they're working. If you cancel the Validating event, the behavior of the control will be determined by what value you assigned to AutoValidate. If you assigned EnablePreventFocusChange , canceling the event will cause the Validated event not to occur.

Input focus will remain on the current control until the user changes the data to a valid format. If you assigned EnableAllowFocusChange , the Validated event won't occur when you cancel the event, but focus will still change to the next control.

Assigning Disable to the AutoValidate property prevents implicit validation altogether. To validate your controls, you'll have to use explicit validation. The explicit validation approach validates data at one time. You can validate the data in response to a user action, such as clicking a Save button or a Next link. Set form's "AutoValidate" property to "Disable". Posted Sep pm Gautam Raithatha.

Clear instructions. It goes without saying: we want to ensure that you always have the proper tools to empower your business for success. With that understanding, we've listened to you—our ISVs and our enterprise customers—and understand the challenges you face with your current application validation processes.

In addition, we've heard feedback that you'd like ISVs and Microsoft to engage more closely to ensure that new monthly security updates work with your applications. In short, this new service will help ISVs make validation efforts simpler and more efficient. Enterprise customers will benefit from ISV and Microsoft testing together in a joint, collaborative environment and gain more confidence that their applications will work as expected. Microsoft will maintain a Windows 10 environment in Azure and keep it up to date with the latest security updates.

ISVs enrolled in the service will provide automated test suites to Microsoft. Microsoft will then schedule a test pass every time a new build of a pre-release security update becomes available in our build share.

This will infuse ease and simplicity into the process of deploying updates and configuring validation environments. When Update Staging Lab first rolls out as a private preview on November 4, , the service will support Windows monthly security updates [i].

Starting November 4th, ISVs enrolled in the private preview will be able to upload their test collateral into the Update Staging Lab service and will start receiving application intelligence. They will be able to access their own test results directly through the Azure Portal Update Staging Lab dashboard through an experience similar to that shown below:. Since data will be available to ISVs shortly after being enrolled in the service, enterprises will be able to work with those ISV partners to get validation insights on the latest Windows security updates before those updates are released.

If we select them for private preview participation, we will work directly with the ISV to onboard them onto Update Staging Lab. If you will be attending Microsoft Ignite , we will be hosting a session on Tuesday, November 5 th , from pm to pm EST to walk through the service further, as well as staffing a booth to help answer your questions.
