I have the following custom ValidationAttribute that works the same way as the Required validation attribute, but I accept the name of a property that will have its value concatenated to the error message. However, the error message always comes as "The [fieldName] field is required".
What is wrong with it?
public class RequiredFieldWithValueOnErrorMessage : ValidationAttribute
{
// a little portuguese lesson :P
// propriedade = property
// mensagemDeErro = errorMessage
public RequiredFieldWithValueOnErrorMessage (String propriedade, String mensagemDeErro)
{
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(mensagemDeErro))
{
this.ErrorMessage = mensagemDeErro;
}
else
{
this.ErrorMessageResourceName = "MensagemCampoRequerido";
this.ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(MensagensInterfaceUsuario);
}
Propriedade = propriedade;
}
private String Propriedade { get; set; }
public override string FormatErrorMessage(string name)
{
return String.Format(ErrorMessage, name);
}
protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value, ValidationContext validationContext)
{
Object instance = validationContext.ObjectInstance;
Type type = instance.GetType();
Object propertyValue = type.GetProperty(Propriedade).GetValue(instance, null);
if (value == null || value.ToString() == "0" || String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value.ToString()))
{
return new ValidationResult(FormatErrorMessage(propertyValue.ToString()));
}
return ValidationResult.Success;
}
}
