Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Occurs when values is null and the rule is currently applied to a Worksheet.
System.ArgumentException	Occurs when the values array is empty.

Remarks

If LimitedValueDataValidationRule.AllowNull is True, null values are allowed in addition to the list of accepted values.

All values will have ToString called on them to covert the accepted values list to a formula.

Note: the formula of accepted values is created by separating each value with a function parameter separator and concatenating them into a single string. So a list of 1, 2, and 3 would have the following formula created: ="1,2,3". However, if the decimal separator of the current culture is a comma (,) then a semicolon (;) will be used to separate the values instead. Because of this, if the ToString of a value returns a string which contains one of these separators, the value will be split into two or more allowed values.
