It's one of the paradoxes of blogging that most every blogger (including myself) is sharing what they know right now (let's quietly ignore those who blog purely for traffic and visibility). Since everyone is learning, this can result in poor or misleading information being shared just as much as good information. Keep this in mind as you read any blog - how experienced is the writer and how well do they really know what they're talking about.
I'm just as flawed as other bloggers, so you should feel encouraged to check my ideas for yourself. Keep the date in mind as well - in our fast moving field, even good ideas can become obsolete.

validation
csharp
Given our requirement of supporting arbitrary metadata on our validation results, how should we modify the semantic types we’ve already created?

validation
csharp
It’s a common requirement for validation messages to be tagged with additional metadata. We might want to indicate which data entry field is the one with a problem, or perhaps provide a tag for machine consumption that identifies which specific problem was encountered.

validation
csharp
If we cast back our thoughts back to the start of this series, one of the limitations of using string to return each of our errors was that every message has to be an error. What do we do if we want to support another kind of message?

psake
powershell
The PowerShell based tool psake is a great way to orchestrate a build. It can also be used for many other kinds of orchestration. One of the trickiest parts is kicking off the process in the first place.

validation
csharp
Let’s recap what we’ve achieved so far with our semantic types for validation. We’ve created a handful of types that work together to give a good model for capturing and processing object validation. The model starts with the base class ValidationResult and its subclasses:
