I have a DateTime property in my model and I would like to validate it using DataAnnotations.In my view I want to get that DateTime as a number of days (e.g. "3"), instead of a DateTime (e.g. "7/14/2010"). If user enters "3" in the view, then DataAnnotation finds it invalid -and that is the issue.What are my options in this scenario?
View 2 RepliesI am having a problem with the Client Validation not firing when I have marked a nullable DateTime field as [Required] and the value of the field is null. (It is actually stopping ALL client validation on the page working - not just the DateTime field).
Interestingly enough, once a post back has been done and the error picked up on the server, the client validation starts working.
Also if you set the date to a none null value (see commented out line in the controller) it will also work
I have replicated this behaviour in a small test project (this is deliberately very Noddy - just enough to replicate the problem)
Am I doing something fundamentally wrong or am I looking at coding some sort of work around here? (I realise that a Required nullable field sounds like a bit of a oxymoron, but I wanted to present the user with a blank field which they must then fill, not one pre-populated with an arbitrary date value)

I created a UserControl and added a public DateTime property. I want to set this property in Markup (ie. <cc1:MyControl runat="server" id="MyControl1" DateTimeProp="1/1/2010" /> ) however I live in a place with a dd/mm/yyyy date format so it complains if I set something like "20/1/2010". Is there a way to set markup in my local datetime format or do I have to conform to "mm/dd/yyyy"?
View 2 Replieshow can i set the default value of some property for DateTime ?
[DefaultValueAttribute(typeof(DateTime),
DateTime.Today.ToString())
when i try this then it prompts the below error?
Why doesn´t this property return a datetime formated with the following pattern when using the property in the codebehind page in my ASP.NET Webforms website? When debugging i can see that the value the returning datetime is "2011-02-21 16:13:29.670" wich is correct.
[code]....
And after assigning the returned property value to a hiddenfield in the .aspx page i get this value assign to the hiddenfield.value "2011-02-21 16:13:29"

I use FormView with ObjectDataSource and class. I have a TextBox binded to a DateTime? property. When TextBox.Text property is empty i want to set the property of my class to null but the value is 1.1.1 00:00:00. My Workaround:

Is there a way to set this property to null without this workaround? Is this a bug in DataSource or is this a feature by design?
I'm building an MVC 2 application with a MySQL database behind it. I've imported the model by adding an ADO.NET Entety Datamodel. Now I want to use DataAnnotations to validate the user input. So I have added the line

However, It just doesn't do anything. The Model.IsValid() returns true no matter how long a string I submit.
I have a problem:
I've created usual Controller and View(Edit view) for editing my Entity (EntityFramework)
Here is view example:
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.BirthDate)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.BirthDate)
</div>
BirthDate is Nullable<DateTime>
but during loading my View I get this exception
The model item passed into the dictionary is null, but this dictionary requires a non-null model item of type 'System.DateTime'.
That's because of BirthDate is null in database but it is nullable and I expect that it just leaves the filed empty.
And I have Shared EditorTemplate:
@model System.Nullable<System.DateTime>
@if (Model.HasValue)
I have an XML string which contains Dates formatted "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss".
I'm loading this XML into a dataset using DataSet.ReadXml().
How can I ensure that this Date is stored in the DataSet as a typed DateTime so that I can Sort, Format and RowFilter on it accordingly.
My test harness is as below:
ASPX Page:
[code]....
obj.From = DateTime.Parse(txtFrom.Text, ci);
And it will give error String was not recognized as a valid DateTime. How it can be solved..

I am using business objects that are accessed via webservices. These objects can be loaded via the webservice and serialized to my mvc app. The mvc app can get a web reference to the objects and they can be utilized in the mvc app. However, the business objects are where the classes are defined, and where the annotations are applied.
The mvc validation seems to have no idea that there are System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations attributes applied to this business object class.
1) Are DataAnnotations lost when objects are serialized / deserialized?
2) If in mvc I use a view model approach, and have nested objects (which themselves have public properties - decorated with DataAnnotations) can/will the mvc validation system traverse the entire object model, the model being used for my view? (so it can see DataAnnotations attributes of the nested object)?
I am using Entity Framework with partial classes added on so I can use DataAnnotation attributes. Does anyone know how to add a data annotatin which will verify that a field is a whole number (or a DataType of int or long)? I'm surprised there is no [DataType(DataType.Integer)] attribute. I tried to create a custom attribute, but it doesn't work because the value it receives is always null:

Obviously I'm missing the point, but I don't know enough to know what I'm missing.
Using data annotations for asp.net MVC, I can enforce range, regular expressions, required, stringlength, etc.. However, I have boolean property "SignedDocument" that I want to enforce its set to true? Is this possible in data annotation?Example:

I want DefaultModelBinder not to perform any validation based on DataAnnotations metadata. I'm already using DataAnnotations with DynamicData for the admin area of my site, and I need a different set of validation rules for the MVC based front-end. I'm decorating my classes with the MetadataType attribute. If I could have different MetadataType classes for the same model but used on different scenarios that would be great.If not I'm fine with just disabling the validation on the DefaultModelBinder, either by setting some property or by creating a specialized version of it.
View 1 RepliesI have a few field in my entity that i wish to be non-editable. Looking in the docs it seems like "EditableAttribute" would do the trick. However this is only 4.0Just wondering if there are other attributes that would have the desire effect. So be clear, i have a field called "DateRegistered" i wish to display this as string not text field using "Html.EditorFor"
View 2 RepliesI have a problem with server-side validation in xVal. I'm using the RequiredAttribute from DataAnnotations.
I would like to change error message from:
The field is required.
to:
Polje je obvezno.
My current solution is this: [Required(ErrorMessage = "Polje je obvezno.")]
But I was wondering if it's possible just to write [Required] and to override error message in one place? (like there is a localization file for client-side validation in xVal)
Is it possible to add a CSS class from DataAnnotations (metadata) when I use Html.EditorForModel() - without a custom template...
Something like this [DataType(CssClass = "DateTime")]
public class TestInput
{
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Name is required.")]
public string Name { get; set; }
[Required, StringLength(500)]
[DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]
public string Description { get; set; }
[Required]
[DataType(CssClass = "DateTime")]
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
[HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
public int Id { get; set; }
}

I got a Category model and it looks like this

My problem is that when i do a tryupdatemodel it validate the ParentCategory aswell, is it really suppose to do that? How could i avoid this, I tried [Bind(Excluede = "ParentCategory)] in the ActionResult but with no luck. I have looked all over the place with no luck everybody just got the Id problem.
I'm having problems with getting my custom dataannotations to work, I'm trying to add a validation-attribute that validates that the UsergroupName for a Customer (CustomerID) is unique.

I have tried everything to get client-side validation to work in MVC2 RC, but have been completely unsuccessful. Server-side validation works just fine, but client-side never fires. I have grabbed
[Code]....
from the futures source, since it wasn't included in RC. Unfortunately, that's the only script that people agree is necessary for everything to work. Besides that, nobody seems to know which other specific js scripts are needed. The candidates are (jquery-1.3.2.js, jquery.validate.js, MicrosoftMvcAjax.js, MicrosoftMvcJQueryValidation.js). I've tried every permutation of these and other scripts to no avail.
Html.EnableClientValidation() has been included before BeginForm, and the JSON validation data appears to be correctly written into the source of the page. But, again, client-side validation never fires.
I'm using DataAnnotations in my viewmodel class:
[Code]....
In my view I enabled client-side validation.
[Code]....
So, is this the way it's supposed to work? Shouldn't enabling client-side validation highlight non-validating elements by default, without an needing to create an associated Html.ValidationMessageFor(), if it has a DataAnnotation validation attribute?
