CAEXPathBuilderIsValidID Method

Determines whether the specified string can represent an ID

Namespace: Aml.Engine.CAEX.Extensions
Assembly: Aml.Engine (in Aml.Engine.dll) Version: 3.2

Syntax

public static bool IsValidID(
	string idString,
	CAEXDocument document = null
)

Public Shared Function IsValidID ( 
	idString As String,
	Optional document As CAEXDocument = Nothing
) As Boolean

public:
static bool IsValidID(
	String^ idString, 
	CAEXDocument^ document = nullptr
)

Parameters

idString String: The identifier string.
document CAEXDocument (Optional): The CAEX document

Return Value

Boolean
true if the specified identifier string can be used as an identifier; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This method should only be used for testing strings which are retrieved from an attribute where an ID is a valid value. It is not possible to distinguish a Name from an ID, because it exists neither a defined syntax for object names nor for object IDs. Only if the UUID format is used to represent an ID the ID format is recognized.
