validation process

1. When a value is being transferred from the target property to the source property, the data binding engine first removes any ValidationError that may have been added to the Validation.Errors attached property of the bound element. It then checks if there are any custom ValidationRules defined for that Binding, in which case it calls the Validate method on each of the ValidationRules until one of them runs into an error or until all of them pass.

2. Once there is a custom rule that does not pass, the binding engine creates a ValidationError object and adds it to the Validation.Errors collection of the bound element. When Validation.Errors is not empty, the Validation.HasError attached property of the element is set to true. Also, if the NotifyOnValidationErrorproperty of the Binding is set to true, then the binding engine raises the Validation.Error attached event on the element.

3. If all of the rules pass, the binding engine then calls the converter, if one exists.

4. If the converter passes, the binding engine calls the setter of the source property.

5. If the binding has an ExceptionValidationRule associated with it and an exception is thrown during step 4, the binding engine checks to see if there is aUpdateSourceExceptionFilter. You have the option to use the UpdateSourceExceptionFilter callback to provide a custom handler for handling exceptions. If anUpdateSourceExceptionFilter is not specified on the Binding, the binding engine creates a ValidationError with the exception and adds it to the Validation.Errorscollection of the bound element.
