The RangeAttribute type exposes the following members.

Constructors

  Name Description
Public method RangeAttribute(Double, Double) Initializes a new instance of the RangeAttribute class with specified double values as the minimum and maximum limits.
Public method RangeAttribute(Int32, Int32) Initializes a new instance of the RangeAttribute class with specified integer values as the minimum and maximum limits.
Public method RangeAttribute(Type, String, String) Initializes a new instance of the RangeAttribute class with the specified minimum and maximum values converted to the specified type.

Properties

  Name Description
Public property ErrorMessage Gets or sets the non-localizable error message to display when validation fails. (Inherited from ValidationAttribute.)
Public property ErrorMessageResourceName Gets or sets the property name on the resource type that provides the localizable error message. (Inherited from ValidationAttribute.)
Public property ErrorMessageResourceType Gets or sets the resource type that provides the localizable error message. (Inherited from ValidationAttribute.)
Protected property ErrorMessageString Gets the localized or non-localized error message. (Inherited from ValidationAttribute.)
Public property Maximum Gets the maximum allowed value for the range.
Public property Minimum Gets the minimum allowed value for the range.
Public property OperandType Gets the type of the Minimum and Maximum values.

Methods

  Name Description
Public method Equals Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method FormatErrorMessage Applies formatting to an error message based on the data field where the error occurred. (Overrides ValidationAttribute.FormatErrorMessage(String).)
Public method GetHashCode Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetValidationResult Determines whether the specified object is valid and returns an object that includes the results of the validation check. (Inherited from ValidationAttribute.)
Protected method IsValid Determines whether the specified object is valid. (Inherited from ValidationAttribute.)
Public method Match When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Validate Determines whether the specified object is valid and throws a ValidationException if the object is not valid. (Inherited from ValidationAttribute.)

Remarks

You apply the RangeAttribute attribute to a property when you need to specify minimum and maximum values for the property. A validation exception is raised if the value of the property is not within the minimum and maximum values.

If the value of the property is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or an empty string (""), the value will not fail validation for the RangeAttribute attribute. To validate that the value is not nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or an empty string, use the RequiredAttribute attribute.

The RangeAttribute class provides the RangeAttribute(Int32, Int32) constructor to specify integer values for the range, and the RangeAttribute(Double, Double) constructor to specify double values for the range. The RangeAttribute class provides the RangeAttribute(Type, String, String) constructor to specify range values that are not integer or double values by enabling you to provide the type for the minimum and maximum values. The type must implement the IComparable interface. For example, to validate a property against a range of decimal values you must provide the type of the Decimal structure and two string values that will be converted to decimal values.

Examples

The following example shows how to specify integer range values for one property and decimal range values for another property.

Public Class Product

  <Range(5, 50)> _
  Public Property ReorderLevel As Integer
    'Implement Get and Set logic
  End Property

  <Range(GetType(Decimal), "5", "5000")> _
  Public Property ListPrice As Decimal
    'Implement Get and Set logic
  End Property

End Class
public class Product
{

  [Range(5, 50)]
  public int ReorderLevel { get; set; }

  [Range(typeof(Decimal),"5", "5000")]
  public decimal ListPrice { get; set; }

}
