c# - DataAnnotations validation from a class

Question

I am using DataAnnotations in a project that is a pure C# application, what is the best way to validate my models/documents against the DataAnnotations attributes?

Answer 1

This is now build into C# 4

var result = new List<ValidationResult>();
bool valid = Validator.TryValidateObject(Vehicle, new ValidationContext(Vehicle, null, null), result);

This will also give you the details of the validation.
