Before executing AddCommand check for duplicate EKey or run validation [message #921916]

Hello,

I have created an AddCommand and I don't want to execute it, if it would cause a violation of a constraints.
In general I think there are two ways to approach it:

- Check the keys for the new key
- run the generated validator

I can't find the key listing for the first way.

For the second way I don't know how to get the context.

Thanks for any advices.

The validator will only run against the model in its current state, so
until you actually add it, you can't check if the model with that added
is invalid.

Why not? The add command knows where it's doing the add, i.e, the owner
of the command.

I don't see how you'd get the second way to work.

So I have manually to iterate over all and check if the key is contained?
I thought there is perhaps a list of used eKeys or something similar.

John,

No, there isn't.
