hi friends,

Suppose I have a propery of integer type and I am using dataannotation in mvc for validation.


//[MaxLengthSize(10)] Like this I want to create as custom.
Public Int Value {get; set;}

I have a text box when takes greater than 10 values Ex. "11111111111" then It return error

The value '11111111111' is invalid.

Which is the default one. The reason is Int property max value is exceed so, It used default error message.
I have also created a custom validator but not working.

I need to create for showing my validation proper.

I can use jquery validations,working, but I need to do with server side dataannotation only.

kindly help me with solution.

Use Range instead of MaxLength
C#
[Range(1,1000000000,ErrorMessage="Value must be between 1 to 1000000000")]

I am using this custom data annotation, you can remove minvalue if you like

C#
public sealed class FieldLengthAttribute : ValidationAttribute
    {
        private int _minValue { get; set; }
        private int _maxValue { get; set; }
        public FieldLengthAttribute(int minValue,int maxValue) {

            _minValue = minValue;
            _maxValue = maxValue;

            ErrorMessage = "{0} length should be between {1} and {2}";
        }

        protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value, ValidationContext validationContext)
        {
            
            if (value != null)
            {
                int objectLength = Convert.ToString(value).Length;
                if (objectLength < _minValue || objectLength > _maxValue)
                {
                    return new ValidationResult(FormatErrorMessage(validationContext.DisplayName));
                }
            }
            return ValidationResult.Success;
        }

        public override string FormatErrorMessage(string name)
        {
            return String.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
              ErrorMessageString, name,_minValue,_maxValue);
        }

    }

The question is over 4 years old and already answered. If you think you have a useful piece of code that someone else might want to use then publish it as a Tip. Don't resurrect old posts - as you see, members will downvote you
Actually the issue is the int has max length is 2147483647 which is 10 digits longer and if I try to pass more than this then return a message and not validate the length.
Return predefine message but not the custom message that we need.
