Install the FluentValidation .NET library for validation.
Below is our sample Contact class and its corresponding validator class.
The validator class needs to inherit AbstractValidator<Contact> and define the validation rules in the constructor using the RuleFor method.
Instantiate the validator class, and pass the object to be validated.
Here we have passed incorrect values for all the properties of the contact.
The ValidationResult holds all the validation error details.
Give it a try – https://docs.fluentvalidation.net/en/latest/index.html
Hope it helps..
