Answer 1

I would take a look at the DataAnnations namespace. It provides attributes for defining all sorts of validations. You’ll need to apply these attributes to the properties that need validation. Then you’ll need a way to check if these attributes pass validation. This is typically done using reflection. Take a look at this answer.
