Open Source EDI Validation Dll or Tools ?

Hi Sanjay,

There is a sweet little app that does EDI validation against the EDI standards. If you go to http://liaison.com/products/integrate/edi-notepad, it's a free download and you can open up any EDI file and it'll identify any errors in your EDI.

There are some more tool that will validate EDI documents,

Thanks Kamlesh,

Yes I made some research on liaison tool and its very good and lite working. 

but as per my requirement specification I need to create some custom validation as per the fields value so its need to programming and require opensource dll to validate EDI file. 

I found X12 EDI parser tool but not for validating EDI .

No, there are not open source EDI Validators that I know of or have ever even heard of.

While check the basic structure, Delimiters, Segment structure, is fairly simple, real validation requires comparison to the actual spec which is pretty involved.  Also, the spec must be licensed somehow so you have to either join X12 or use a commercial product such as BizTalk Server.
