Min/Max-value validators in asp.net mvc

A complete example of how this could be done. To avoid having to write client-side validation scripts, the existing ValidationType = "range" has been used.

public class MinValueAttribute : ValidationAttribute, IClientValidatable
{
    private readonly double _minValue;

    public MinValueAttribute(double minValue)
    {
        _minValue = minValue;
        ErrorMessage = "Enter a value greater than or equal to " + _minValue;  
    }

    public MinValueAttribute(int minValue)
    {
        _minValue = minValue;
        ErrorMessage = "Enter a value greater than or equal to " + _minValue;
    }

    public override bool IsValid(object value)
    {
        return Convert.ToDouble(value) >= _minValue;
    }

    public IEnumerable<ModelClientValidationRule> GetClientValidationRules(ModelMetadata metadata, ControllerContext context)
    {
        var rule = new ModelClientValidationRule();
        rule.ErrorMessage = ErrorMessage;
        rule.ValidationParameters.Add("min", _minValue);
        rule.ValidationParameters.Add("max", Double.MaxValue);
        rule.ValidationType = "range";
        yield return rule;
    }

}

Here is how I would write a validator for MaxValue

public class MaxValueAttribute : ValidationAttribute
    {
        private readonly int _maxValue;

        public MaxValueAttribute(int maxValue)
        {
            _maxValue = maxValue;
        }

        public override bool IsValid(object value)
        {
            return (int) value <= _maxValue;
        }
    }

The MinValue Attribute should be fairly the same


I don't think min/max validations attribute exist. I would use something like

[Range(1, Int32.MaxValue)]

for minimum value 1 and

[Range(Int32.MinValue, 10)]

for maximum value 10
