Remarks

This class enforces validation, based on the metadata that is associated with the data table. You can override this class to create custom validation attributes.

Constructors

ValidationAttribute()

Initializes a new instance of the ValidationAttribute class.

ValidationAttribute(Func<String>)

Initializes a new instance of the ValidationAttribute class by using the function that enables access to validation resources.

ValidationAttribute(String)

Initializes a new instance of the ValidationAttribute class by using the error message to associate with a validation control.

Properties

ErrorMessage

Gets or sets an error message to associate with a validation control if validation fails.

ErrorMessageResourceName

Gets or sets the error message resource name to use in order to look up the ErrorMessageResourceType property value if validation fails.

ErrorMessageResourceType

Gets or sets the resource type to use for error-message lookup if validation fails.

ErrorMessageString

Gets the localized validation error message.

RequiresValidationContext

Gets a value that indicates whether the attribute requires validation context.

TypeId

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

(Inherited from Attribute)

Explicit Interface Implementations

_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)

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)
