What you are talking about is row-level validation, as opposed to
field-level validation that fires from the Valid() event. In practice,
I rarely use Valid(), since I don't usually need to validate a field
independently of everything else. I too prefer keeping my validation in
the business object, and validating a record as a whole, rather than
field-by-field.
