declare a required field attribute C# code example
Example 1: C# ValidationAttribute required when
public class RequiredIfAttribute : ValidationAttribute, IClientValidatable
{
private String PropertyName { get; set; }
private Object DesiredValue { get; set; }
private readonly RequiredAttribute _innerAttribute;
public RequiredIfAttribute(String propertyName, Object desiredvalue)
{
PropertyName = propertyName;
DesiredValue = desiredvalue;
_innerAttribute = new RequiredAttribute();
}
protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value, ValidationContext context)
{
var dependentValue = context.ObjectInstance.GetType().GetProperty(PropertyName).GetValue(context.ObjectInstance, null);
if (dependentValue.ToString() == DesiredValue.ToString())
{
if (!_innerAttribute.IsValid(value))
{
return new ValidationResult(FormatErrorMessage(context.DisplayName), new[] { context.MemberName });
}
}
return ValidationResult.Success;
}
public IEnumerable<ModelClientValidationRule> GetClientValidationRules(ModelMetadata metadata, ControllerContext context)
{
var rule = new ModelClientValidationRule
{
ErrorMessage = ErrorMessageString,
ValidationType = "requiredif",
};
rule.ValidationParameters["dependentproperty"] = (context as ViewContext).ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId(PropertyName);
rule.ValidationParameters["desiredvalue"] = DesiredValue is bool ? DesiredValue.ToString().ToLower() : DesiredValue;
yield return rule;
}
}
Example 2: C# ValidationAttribute required when
$.validator.unobtrusive.adapters.add('requiredif', ['dependentproperty', 'desiredvalue'], function (options) {
options.rules['requiredif'] = options.params;
options.messages['requiredif'] = options.message;
});
$.validator.addMethod('requiredif', function (value, element, parameters) {
var desiredvalue = parameters.desiredvalue;
desiredvalue = (desiredvalue == null ? '' : desiredvalue).toString();
var controlType = $("input[id$='" + parameters.dependentproperty + "']").attr("type");
var actualvalue = {}
if (controlType == "checkbox" || controlType == "radio") {
var control = $("input[id$='" + parameters.dependentproperty + "']:checked");
actualvalue = control.val();
} else {
actualvalue = $("#" + parameters.dependentproperty).val();
}
if ($.trim(desiredvalue).toLowerCase() === $.trim(actualvalue).toLocaleLowerCase()) {
var isValid = $.validator.methods.required.call(this, value, element, parameters);
return isValid;
}
return true;
});
