Using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations with Entity Framework 4.0

Question

I\'m working with MVC3, and using Entity Framework 4.0 Entities as my model. So far, everything works great as far as using it as a model (all the crud operations/page gene

Answer 1

Same as above but with all the details, and it works

And Here is the Code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace Validate.Models
{
    [MetadataType(typeof(PersonMetadata))]
    public partial class Person
    {
        // Note this class has nothing in it.  It's just here to add the class-level attribute.
    }

    public class PersonMetadata
    {
        // Name the field the same as EF named the property - "FirstName" for example.
        // Also, the type needs to match.  Basically just redeclare it.
        // Note that this is a field.  I think it can be a property too, but fields definitely should work.

        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Enter Your Name")]
        public string FirstName;
    }
}
