Examples

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

[ConfigurationProperty("alias2", DefaultValue = "alias.txt",
    IsRequired = true, IsKey = false)]
[RegexStringValidator(@"\w+\S*")]
public string Alias2
{
    get
    {
        return (string)this["alias2"];
    }
    set
    {
        this["alias2"] = value;
    }
}

<ConfigurationProperty("alias2", _
DefaultValue:="alias.txt", _
IsRequired:=True, _
IsKey:=False), _
RegexStringValidator("\w+\S*")> _
Public Property Alias2() As String
    Get
        Return CStr(Me("alias2"))
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)
        Me("alias2") = value
    End Set
End Property

Remarks

You use the RegexStringValidatorAttribute to decorate a configuration property, which instructs .NET to validate the property using RegexStringValidator and pass to it the value of the decorating parameters.

You can only apply RegexStringValidatorAttribute objects to property types.

Constructors
