将我的属性值与模型类中另一个属性的值进行比较的自定义验证属性

Question

我想创建一个自定义验证属性，我想在其中将我的属性值与模型类中另一个属性的值进行比较。 例如，我的模型类中有：

...    
public string SourceCity { get; set; }
public string DestinationCity { get; set; }

我想创建一个自定义属性来像这样使用它：

[Custom("SourceCity", ErrorMessage = "the source and destination should not be equal")]
public string DestinationCity { get; set; }
//this wil lcompare SourceCity with DestinationCity

我怎样才能到达那里？

Answer 1

请看下面我的例子：

模型类实现INotifyPropertyChanged

public class ModelClass : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private string destinationCity;

    public string SourceCity { get; set; }

    public ModelClass()
    {
        PropertyChanged += CustomAttribute.ThrowIfNotEquals;
    }

    [Custom("SourceCity", ErrorMessage = "the source and destination should not be equal")]
    public string DestinationCity
    {
        get
        {
            return this.destinationCity;
        }
        set
        {
            if (value != this.destinationCity)
            {
                this.destinationCity = value;
                NotifyPropertyChanged("DestinationCity");
            }
        }
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    protected virtual void NotifyPropertyChanged(string info)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(info));
        }
    }
}

属性类还包含事件处理程序。

internal sealed class CustomAttribute : Attribute
{
    public CustomAttribute(string propertyName)
    {
        PropertyName = propertyName;
    }

    public string PropertyName { get; set; }

    public string ErrorMessage { get; set; }

    public static void ThrowIfNotEquals(object obj, PropertyChangedEventArgs eventArgs)
    {
        Type type = obj.GetType();

        var changedProperty = type.GetProperty(eventArgs.PropertyName);

        var attribute = (CustomAttribute)changedProperty
            .GetCustomAttributes(typeof(CustomAttribute), false)
            .FirstOrDefault();

        var valueToCompare = type.GetProperty(attribute.PropertyName).GetValue(obj, null);

        if (!valueToCompare.Equals(changedProperty.GetValue(obj, null)))
            throw new Exception("the source and destination should not be equal");
    }
}

用法

    var test = new ModelClass();
    test.SourceCity = "1";
    // Everything is ok
    test.DestinationCity = "1";
    // throws exception
    test.DestinationCity ="2";

为了简化代码，我决定省略验证。

最好的方法是通过 IValidatableObject。见http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/gg193959.aspx

以下是获取其他属性值的方法：

public class CustomAttribute : ValidationAttribute
{
    private readonly string _other;
    public CustomAttribute(string other)
    {
        _other = other;
    }

    protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value, ValidationContext validationContext)
    {
        var property = validationContext.ObjectType.GetProperty(_other);
        if (property == null)
        {
            return new ValidationResult(
                string.Format("Unknown property: {0}", _other)
            );
        }
        var otherValue = property.GetValue(validationContext.ObjectInstance, null);

        // at this stage you have "value" and "otherValue" pointing
        // to the value of the property on which this attribute
        // is applied and the value of the other property respectively
        // => you could do some checks
        if (!object.Equals(value, otherValue))
        {
            // here we are verifying whether the 2 values are equal
            // but you could do any custom validation you like
            return new ValidationResult(this.FormatErrorMessage(validationContext.DisplayName));
        }
        return null;
    }
}
