IsValidName
Description
Validates whether the name is valid for the given type. This method checks whether the name contains invalid characters, is of a valid length, and does not conflict with any reserved words. This method does not verify that the name can actually be used for the purpose identified by type, since it does not check whether an object of the given name and type already exist.
Note: This
method became available in version 7.1.
