TimeSpanValidatorAttribute Class

Definition

Declaratively instructs .NET to perform time validation on a configuration property. This class cannot be inherited.

[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Property)]
public sealed class TimeSpanValidatorAttribute : System.Configuration.ConfigurationValidatorAttribute
Inheritance
TimeSpanValidatorAttribute
Attributes

Examples

The following example shows how to decorate the properties of a custom ConfigurationSection object using the TimeSpanValidatorAttribute attribute.

[ConfigurationProperty("maxIdleTime",
    DefaultValue = "0:10:0",
    IsRequired = false)]
[TimeSpanValidator(MinValueString = "0:0:30",
    MaxValueString = "5:00:0",
    ExcludeRange = false)]
public TimeSpan MaxIdleTime
{
    get
    {
        return (TimeSpan)this["maxIdleTime"];
    }
    set
    {
        this["maxIdleTime"] = value;
    }
}

The following example is an excerpt of the configuration file that contains the custom section used by the previous sample.

<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">  
  <configSections>  
    <section name="custom" type="Microsoft.Samples.AspNet.Configuration.SampleSection, ConfigurationValidatorAttribute" />  
  </configSections>  
  <custom fileName="NewFile.txt" maxSize="1000" maxAttempts="101" maxUsers="2500" maxIdleTime="00:15:00" />  
</configuration>  

Remarks

You use the TimeSpanValidatorAttribute attribute to decorate a configuration property. This is to instruct .NET to validate the property using the TimeSpanValidator class and pass to it the value of the decorating parameters.

You can apply TimeSpanValidatorAttribute objects to property types only.

Constructors

TimeSpanValidatorAttribute()

Initializes a new instance of the TimeSpanValidatorAttribute class.

Fields

TimeSpanMaxValue

Gets the absolute maximum value allowed.

TimeSpanMinValue

Gets the absolute minimum value allowed.

Properties

ExcludeRange

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether to include or exclude the integers in the range as defined by MinValueString and MaxValueString.

MaxValue

Gets the absolute maximum TimeSpan value.

MaxValueString

Gets or sets the relative maximum TimeSpan value.

MinValue

Gets the absolute minimum TimeSpan value.

MinValueString

Gets or sets the relative minimum TimeSpan value.

TypeId

When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.

(Inherited from Attribute)
ValidatorInstance

Gets an instance of the TimeSpanValidator class.

ValidatorType

Gets the type of the validator attribute.

Methods

Equals(Object)

Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object.

(Inherited from Attribute)
GetHashCode()

Returns the hash code for this instance.

(Inherited from Attribute)

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
IsDefaultAttribute()

When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.

Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.

(Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)

Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.

(Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32)

Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).

(Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.Invoke(UInt32, Guid, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr)

Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object.
