Namespace: System.Windows.Data
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: Not mapped to an xmlns.
Syntax
Public Property ValidatesOnExceptions As Boolean
public bool ValidatesOnExceptions { get; set; }
<Binding ValidatesOnExceptions="bool"/>
Property Value
Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the binding engine will report exception validation errors; otherwise, false. The default is false.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidOperationException | The Binding has already been attached to a target element, and cannot be modified. |
Remarks
Setting ValidatesOnExceptions to true tells the binding engine to catch exceptions that occur when updating the source object from the target in TwoWay bindings. The exceptions can occur in two ways:
1. Thrown from the source object's setter function.
2. Thrown by the type converter.
In order to receive notification that these exceptions have occurred, you must set the NotifyOnValidationError property to be true.
If this property is set to false, the application will silently fail on validation exceptions.
