Validity Check, which button image should i use?

Question

Hello,

in my software there is a validity check, which checks each input in my form. The user can click on a button to do this check. My question is, if there is a recommendation which button-image should be used for a validity check, to get a homogenous gui in a windows-environment. Or are there some gui-design-guidelines which describes such things? For my other buttons in the toolbar i use the images that are delivered with visual studio 2008. The software is a WPF-based interface.

Thanks for advice, Martin

I would use a checkmark. There is a very cool free online "User Experience Pattern Explorer" by Infragistics: http://quince.infragistics.com/
