Determines whether the specified value can be converted to a date-time value and is between the minimum and maximum allowed values.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overrides Function IsValid( _ ByVal value As Object _ ) As Boolean

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As DateTimeCellType Dim value As Object Dim value As Boolean value = instance.IsValid(value)

C#
public override bool IsValid( object value )

Parameters

value: Value to validate (as object)

Return Value

Boolean: true if the value can be converted to a Date-Time object and is between the minimum and maximum allowed values; false otherwise

Remarks

The valid range of values is defined by the MinimumDate, MinimumTime, MaximumDate, and MaximumTime properties.

Example

This example shows the use of the IsValid method for a date-time formatted numeric cell type, but it can be used for other cell types as well.
