Validating with Caliburn.Micro

Question

Is there a way to validate a textbox input (using Regex) in a wpf application using Caliburn.Micro?

Thanks

Answer 1

I wrote a small plugin for CM to enable fluent builder-style validation. Feel free to use it: https://github.com/AIexandr/Caliburn.Micro.Validation

I'd suggest using an attribute-based approach. Have a look at this article:

Validation in WPF

The approach here is basically:

Inherit from a validation viewmodel base-class. This, in turn, could inherit from the Caliburn Screen/Conductor/etc base-classes quite happily

Once this is done all you need to is attribute up the properties you want to validate. This fits in really nicely with the CM approach.
