Validating your model before inserting into database in Asp.net MVC

We all are aware that when we take any model from view(user input) into the controller , we always tend to

use ModelState.IsValid to check if model is valid , then only we will proceed for further processing

	[HttpPost]
	[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
	public ViewResult Share( model_document param_model_document )
	{
	// VALIDATE THE MODEL
	if(ModelState.IsValid) {
	// DO THE DESIRED TASK
	}
	return View();
	}

But the same is not applicable when we are doing same in class file which does not inherit controller class.




For that we have to use GetValidationErrors() to validate if we are good with data models & should only proceed into database insertion once there are no errors ( GetValidationErrors().Count() ).

	public Boolean MovedToFolder( int param_src_folderID , int param_des_folderID , int docmovID )
	{
	using(DBStore db = new DBStore()) {
	//create some model class instance
	//insert values
	//db.somemodel.Add(modelobj);
	return db.GetValidationErrors().Count() == 0 ? (db.SaveChanges() == 1 ? true : false) : false;
	}
	}
