hello,

thanks for your attention and time.

I want to implement validations in settter of properties. Here is an issue where your expert help is required please.

I have idea of how I will do validations before setting value. but not getting what to do if passed value is not correct. Just not setting is not a acceptable solution as I want to return an appropriate message to user (in a label in web form). My example code is:

private int id;
public int Id {
get
{ return id; }

set
{
bool result = IsNumber(value);
if (result==false)
{
// What to do if passed data is not valid ? how to give a appropriate message to user
that what is wrong ?
}

id = value;
}
}

A thought was to use return but it is not allowed.

Throwing error looks not good as generally we avoid thorwing custom errors.

Please guide and help me.

thanks in anticipation
