I can't give you exactly what you're asking for, but have you considered something like the following?

public abstract class Document // or interface, whichever is appropriate for you
{
//some non-validted common properties
}


public class ValidatedDocument : Document
{
[Required]
public string Name {get;set;}
}


public class AnotherValidatedDocument : Document
{
[Required]
public string Name {get;set;}


//I would suggest finding a descriptive name for this instead of Name2,
//Name2 doesn't make it clear what it's for
public string Name2 {get;set;}
}


public class NonValidatedDocument : Document
{
public string Name {get;set;}
}


//Etc...

Justification being the int DocumentType variable. You could replace this with using concrete subclass types for each "type" of document you need to deal with. Doing this gives you much better control of your property annotations.

It also appears that only some of your properties are needed in different situations, which could be a sign that your document class is trying to do too much, and supports the suggestion above.

最佳答案

Out of the box I think this is still not possible.

But I found this promising article about Mvc.ValidationToolkit (also here, unfortunately this is only alpha, but you probably could also just extract the method(s) you need from this code and integrate it on your own), it contains the nice sounding attribute RequiredIf which seems to match exactly your cause:

you download the project from the linked zip and build it
get the built dll from your build folder and reference it in the project you are using
unfortunately this seems to require reference to MVC, too (easiest way to have that is starting an MVC-Project in VS or install-package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc)
in the files where you want to use it, you add using Mvc.ValidationToolkit;
then you are able to write things like [RequiredIf("DocumentType", 2)] or [RequiredIf("DocumentType", 1)], so objects are valid if neither name or name2 are supplied as long as DocumentType is not equal to 1 or 2

RequiredIf validation attribute

I've written a RequiredIfAttribute that requires a particular property value when a different property has a certain value (what you require) or when a different property has anything but a specific value.

This is the code that may help:

/// <summary>
/// Provides conditional validation based on related property value.
/// </summary>
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class RequiredIfAttribute : ValidationAttribute
{
#region Properties


/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the other property name that will be used during validation.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The other property name.
/// </value>
public string OtherProperty { get; private set; }


/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the display name of the other property.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The display name of the other property.
/// </value>
public string OtherPropertyDisplayName { get; set; }


/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the other property value that will be relevant for validation.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The other property value.
/// </value>
public object OtherPropertyValue { get; private set; }


/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets a value indicating whether other property's value should match or differ from provided other property's value (default is <c>false</c>).
/// </summary>
/// <value>
///   <c>true</c> if other property's value validation should be inverted; otherwise, <c>false</c>.
/// </value>
/// <remarks>
/// How this works
/// - true: validated property is required when other property doesn't equal provided value
/// - false: validated property is required when other property matches provided value
/// </remarks>
public bool IsInverted { get; set; }


/// <summary>
/// Gets a value that indicates whether the attribute requires validation context.
/// </summary>
/// <returns><c>true</c> if the attribute requires validation context; otherwise, <c>false</c>.</returns>
public override bool RequiresValidationContext
{
get { return true; }
}

Conditionally required property using data annotations

 [RequiredIf(dependent Property name, dependent Property value)]


e.g.




[RequiredIf("Country", "Ethiopia")]
public string POBox{get;set;}
// POBox is required in Ethiopia
public string Country{get;set;}


[RequiredIf("destination", "US")]
public string State{get;set;}
// State is required in US


public string destination{get;set;}






public class RequiredIfAttribute : ValidationAttribute
{
RequiredAttribute _innerAttribute = new RequiredAttribute();
public string _dependentProperty { get; set; }
public object _targetValue { get; set; }


public RequiredIfAttribute(string dependentProperty, object targetValue)
{
this._dependentProperty = dependentProperty;
this._targetValue = targetValue;
}
protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value, ValidationContext validationContext)
{
var field = validationContext.ObjectType.GetProperty(_dependentProperty);
if (field != null)
{
var dependentValue = field.GetValue(validationContext.ObjectInstance, null);
if ((dependentValue == null && _targetValue == null) || (dependentValue.Equals(_targetValue)))
{
if (!_innerAttribute.IsValid(value))
{
string name = validationContext.DisplayName;
string specificErrorMessage = ErrorMessage;
if (specificErrorMessage.Length < 1)
specificErrorMessage = $"{name} is required.";


return new ValidationResult(specificErrorMessage, new[] { validationContext.MemberName });

Check out MVC Foolproof validation. It has data annotation in model like RequiredIf (dependent Property, dependent value) if I remember correctly. You can download Foolproof from:
Visual Studio(2017) -> Tools -> Nuget Package Manager -> Manage Nuget Packages for Solution. Reference mvcfoolproof.unobtrusive.min.js in addition to the jquery files.

I have always used implemented IValidatableObject from System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

Example below

  public IEnumerable<ValidationResult> Validate(ValidationContext validationContext)
{
if (this.SendInAppNotification)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.NotificationTitle) || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(this.NotificationTitle))
{
yield return new ValidationResult(
$"Notification Title is required",
new[] { nameof(this.NotificationTitle) });
}
}

check out the ExpressiveAnnotations .net library Git reference

It has 'RequiredIf' and 'AssertThat' validation attributes

I solved this by extending the RequiredAttribute class, borrowing some logic from the CompareAttribute and Robert's excellent solution:

/// <summary>
/// Provides conditional <see cref="RequiredAttribute"/>
/// validation based on related property value.
/// </summary>
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class RequiredIfAttribute : RequiredAttribute
{
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets a value indicating whether other property's value should
/// match or differ from provided other property's value (default is <c>false</c>).
/// </summary>
public bool IsInverted { get; set; } = false;


/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the other property name that will be used during validation.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The other property name.
/// </value>
public string OtherProperty { get; private set; }


/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the other property value that will be relevant for validation.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The other property value.
/// </value>
public object OtherPropertyValue { get; private set; }


/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="RequiredIfAttribute"/> class.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="otherProperty">The other property.</param>
/// <param name="otherPropertyValue">The other property value.</param>
public RequiredIfAttribute(string otherProperty, object otherPropertyValue)
: base()
{
OtherProperty = otherProperty;
OtherPropertyValue = otherPropertyValue;
}


protected override ValidationResult IsValid(
object value,
ValidationContext validationContext)
{
PropertyInfo otherPropertyInfo = validationContext
.ObjectType.GetProperty(OtherProperty);
if (otherPropertyInfo == null)
{
return new ValidationResult(
string.Format(
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
"Could not find a property named {0}.",
validationContext.ObjectType, OtherProperty));
}


// Determine whether to run [Required] validation
object actualOtherPropertyValue = otherPropertyInfo
.GetValue(validationContext.ObjectInstance, null);
if (!IsInverted && Equals(actualOtherPropertyValue, OtherPropertyValue) ||
IsInverted && !Equals(actualOtherPropertyValue, OtherPropertyValue))
{
return base.IsValid(value, validationContext);
}
return default;
}
}

Example usage:

public class Model {
public bool Subscribe { get; set; }
    

[RequiredIf(nameof(Subscribe), true)]
[DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
public string Email { get; set; }
}

This way, you get all the standard Required validation features.

N.B.: I am using .NET 5, but I tried to remove language features added in c# 9.0 for wider compatibility.

I know this question is from a long time ago but someone asked in the comments section of Robert's answer how to use unobtrusive as part of the solution.

I wanted client side validation as well so I'm sharing my revised code to Robert's original code. It's essentially the same code except it implements IClientModelValidator and has an additional AddValidation method. The client validation still respects the IsInverted property.

Implement IClientModelValidator

public sealed class RequiredIfAttribute : ValidationAttribute, IClientModelValidator

New AddValidation method

 public void AddValidation(ClientModelValidationContext context)
{
var viewContext = context.ActionContext as ViewContext;
var modelType = context.ModelMetadata.ContainerType;
var instance = viewContext?.ViewData.Model;
var model = instance?.GetType().Name == modelType.Name
? instance
: instance?.GetType()?.GetProperties().First(x => x.PropertyType.Name == modelType.Name)
.GetValue(instance, null);
object otherValue = modelType.GetProperty(this.OtherProperty)?.GetValue(model, null);
object value = modelType.GetProperty(context.ModelMetadata.Name)?.GetValue(model, null);
string displayName = context.ModelMetadata.DisplayName ?? context.ModelMetadata.Name;
string errorMessage = null;


// check if this value is actually required and validate it
if (!this.IsInverted && object.Equals(otherValue, this.OtherPropertyValue) ||
this.IsInverted && !object.Equals(otherValue, this.OtherPropertyValue))
{
if (value == null)
{
errorMessage = this.FormatErrorMessage(displayName);
}


// additional check for strings so they're not empty
string val = value as string;
if (val != null && val.Trim().Length == 0)
{
errorMessage = this.FormatErrorMessage(displayName);
}
}


if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(errorMessage))
{
context.Attributes.Add("data-val", "true");
context.Attributes.Add("data-val-required", errorMessage);
}
            

}

This should just work, provided you have included jquery.js, jquery.validate.js and jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js script files (in that order) to your layout or razor view.

I wrote a simple custom validation attribute that it's very readable.

using System;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;


namespace some.namespace
{
public class RequiredIfAttribute : ValidationAttribute
{
public string PropertyName { get; set; }
public object Value { get; set; }


public RequiredIfAttribute(string propertyName, object value = null, string errorMessage = "")
{
PropertyName = propertyName;
Value = value;
ErrorMessage = errorMessage;
}


protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value, ValidationContext validationContext)
{
if (PropertyName == null || PropertyName.ToString() == "")
{
throw new Exception("RequiredIf: you have to indicate the name of the property to use in the validation");
}


var propertyValue = GetPropertyValue(validationContext);


if (HasPropertyValue(propertyValue) && (value == null || value.ToString() == ""))
{
return new ValidationResult(ErrorMessage);
}
else
{
return ValidationResult.Success;
}
}


private object GetPropertyValue(ValidationContext validationContext)
{
var instance = validationContext.ObjectInstance;
var type = instance.GetType();
return type.GetProperty(PropertyName).GetValue(instance);
}


private bool HasPropertyValue(object propertyValue)
{
if (Value != null)
{
return propertyValue != null && propertyValue.ToString() == Value.ToString();
}
else
{
return propertyValue != null && propertyValue.ToString() != "";
}
}
}
}

You can use it like this

public class Document
{
public int DocumentType{get;set;}


[RequiredIf("DocumentType", "1", ErrorMessage = "The field is required.")]
public string Name{get;set;}


[RequiredIf("DocumentType", "2", ErrorMessage = "The field is required.")]
public string Name2{get;set;}
}
