# Validation

If you want to ensure your data conforms to some sort of standard, you can validate it.

###### Data

```
Id,Name
1,on-e
```

###### Example

```cs
void Main()
{
    using (var reader = new StreamReader("path\\to\\file.csv"))
    using (var csv = new CsvReader(reader, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))
    {
        csv.Context.RegisterClassMap<FooMap>();
        csv.GetRecords<Foo>().ToList().Dump();
    }
}

public class Foo
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public DateTimeOffset? Date { get; set; }
}

public class FooMap : ClassMap<Foo>
{
    public FooMap()
    {
        Map(m => m.Id);
        Map(m => m.Name).Validate(field => !field.Contains("-"));
    }
}
```
