• If the Required property of any field in the item is set to true, then the field must have a value.

• If an SPFieldNumber object in the item has values in the MinimumValue and MaximumValue properties, then the field value must be within the specified bounds.

• If an SPFieldChoice object in the item has the FillInChoice property set to true, then the field value must be one of the strings in the field's Choices collection.

If any one of these conditions is not met, then an SPListDataValidationException is thrown.
