Often, I create a base class with all my generic validation methods, which my other classes then inherit from.

Where is the best place to handle data validation in an object? Should an object's Save() method be responsible for validating it's internal members before actually saving or should the calling program call a Validate() method before attempting to save?
Any advice is appreciated.
