MVC 4 - DataAnnotations - Validation for Type

Question

I have the following code working

    [Required(ErrorMessage = \"Price is required.\")]
    [Range(typeof(Decimal), \"1\", \"9999\", ErrorMessage = \"Price xx.xx         


        

Answer 1

First off, I think you will want to change your Range attribute to

[Range(typeof(Decimal), "1", "9999", ErrorMessage = "{0} must be a decimal/number between {1} and {2}.")]

According to MSDN, this is the valid way to use RangeAttribute.

Second:

"The field productPrice must be a number."

This is actually unobtrusive client-side JavaScript validation kicking in. Your range validator will fire after the number has been validated. You can disable the number validator although I do not recommend this:

$.validator.methods.number = function (n, t) {
    return true;
}
