# PasswordValdationResult

`PasswordValdationResult` is a simple result object returned by `clsPassword.IsValid` that carries the validation outcome and any associated error messages. The class name preserves the original source spelling (`Vald` rather than `Valid`).

## Purpose
- Carry the result of a password validation check including a pass/fail indicator and a list of validation failure messages.*

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.External.Users`*
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.BOF.Business.External.Users`
- Defined in: `clsPassword.vb`

## Public members

| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `IsValid` | `Public Property IsValid As Boolean` | Gets or sets the is valid.* |
| `Messages` | `Public Property Messages As IList(Of String)` | Gets or sets the messages.* |
| `New` | `Public Sub New()` | Initializes a new instance of `PasswordValdationResult`.* |

## Behavioral notes
- Returned by `clsPassword.IsValid(password, userId, firstName, lastName)` after applying all password strength rules.*
- An empty `Messages` list indicates a fully valid password.*

## Constraints and usage notes
- This is a plain data-transfer object with no BOF framework base class; it does not participate in the `IBusinessCriteria` lifecycle.*

> **Note:** Statements marked with `*` were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts.
