Funny you should ask because I'm dealing with that myself. My approach was to write a business rule. Then, the first action is Validation Business Rule instead of Business Rule (Save). On Failure "Show Message", on Success select business rule and specify Save.

Here's the thing, I'm trying to validate data entered into a control and I've been looking at the Property. Technically, the data hasn't saved yet, so my validation is not working.

I have no idea how to access a control from a busines rule so I'm stumped at the moment.

You basically create business rules that validate the data and then return a true/false. You tie that up to the UI by using validation rule actions (as Mike mentioned). The entity reference will contain all the values entered in the bound controls. You don't need to access the controls themselves, just the properties bound to them.

Make sense?

The property should be available in the business rule, I have something like this:
if (contactreferringmd.ReferTo == null)
{
errorMessage = "'Refer To' is required.";
}

where ReferTo is bound to a lookup - seems to work fine. I don't know about collections though. And it won't be in the database yet so you can't look at it with ADO.NET.

I have followed the same tactic you did with the Validation Business rule and the OnFail/OnSuccess handlers.

Ryan,

Here's what I was doing wrong. I was referencing ticket.Notes which is valid. Unfortunately, the description control is bound to ticket.TicketProblem.Notes

It seems the most difficult problems always have the simplest solutions.

Ah, that explains why your business rule was always returning a false then! Glad it is worked out then.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking how to save the data after performing the validation?
