Validate Method
Validates the specified EDI document.
Syntax
public void Validate();
Public Sub Validate()
Remarks
This method validates the EDI document specified by InputFile, SetInputStream or InputData.
Before calling Validate set SchemaFormat and call LoadSchema to load the schema for the document to be validated. The schema defines many validation rules such as minimum and maximum lengths, minimum and maximum occurrences, and more. The validation performed by the component depends largely on the schema's definition.
When the Validate method is called the component will attempt to validate the document. If errors are found during validation the ValidationError event will fire with details about each error as it is encountered. After the document has been validated the ValidationErrors property will be populated with details of each error.
Inspect the ValidationErrors property for information on any errors that were encountered.
Validation Example
validator.InputFile = "files/EDIDocuments/MyEDIDoc.txt";
validator.LoadSchema("my_schemas/00501/RSSBus_005010X222A1_837.json");
validator.Validate();
foreach (ValidationErrorDetail error in validator.ValidationErrors) {
Console.WriteLine(error.ErrorCode + ": " + error.Message);
}
