.net - 使用 DataAnnotations 与 WPF 和 Entity Framework 验证数据？

Question

有什么方法可以在 WPF 和 Entity Framework 中使用 DataAnnotations 进行验证吗？

Answer 1

您可以使用 DataAnnotations.Validator 类，如下所述:

但是，如果您使用“buddy”类作为元数据，则需要在验证之前注册该事实，如下所述:

http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/p/149264/377212.aspx

TypeDescriptor.AddProviderTransparent(
  new AssociatedMetadataTypeTypeDescriptionProvider(typeof(myEntity), 
    typeof(myEntityMetadataClass)), 
  typeof(myEntity));

List<ValidationResult> results = new List<ValidationResult>();
ValidationContext context = new ValidationContext(myEntity, null, null)
bool valid = Validator.TryValidateObject(myEntity, context, results, true);

我写了一个通用方法来实现上面的逻辑，以便任何对象都可以调用它:

// If the class to be validated does not have a separate metadata class, pass
// the same type for both typeparams.
public static bool IsValid<T, U>(this T obj, ref Dictionary<string, string> errors)
{
    //If metadata class type has been passed in that's different from the class to be validated, register the association
    if (typeof(T) != typeof(U))
    {
        TypeDescriptor.AddProviderTransparent(new AssociatedMetadataTypeTypeDescriptionProvider(typeof(T), typeof(U)), typeof(T));
    }

    var validationContext = new ValidationContext(obj, null, null);
    var validationResults = new List<ValidationResult>();
    Validator.TryValidateObject(obj, validationContext, validationResults, true);

    if (validationResults.Count > 0 && errors == null)
        errors = new Dictionary<string, string>(validationResults.Count);

    foreach (var validationResult in validationResults)
    {
        errors.Add(validationResult.MemberNames.First(), validationResult.ErrorMessage);
    }

    if (validationResults.Count > 0)
        return false;
    else
        return true;
}

在每个需要验证的对象中，我添加对此方法的调用:

[MetadataType(typeof(Employee.Metadata))]
public partial class Employee
{
    private sealed class Metadata
    {
        [DisplayName("Email")]
        [Email(ErrorMessage = "Please enter a valid email address.")]
        public string EmailAddress { get; set; }
    }

    public bool IsValid(ref Dictionary<string, string> errors)
    {
        return this.IsValid<Employee, Metadata>(ref errors);
        //If the Employee class didn't have a buddy class,
        //I'd just pass Employee twice:
        //return this.IsValid<Employee, Employee>(ref errors);
    }
}
