EF: Validation failing on update when using lazy-loaded, required properties

Question

Given this extremely simple model:

public class MyContext : BaseContext
{
    public DbSet Foos { get; set; }
    public DbSet Bars { g         


        

Answer 1

Here's a semi-acceptable work-around:

var errors = this.context.GetValidationErrors();
foreach (DbEntityValidationResult result in errors) {
    Type baseType = result.Entry.Entity.GetType().BaseType;
    foreach (PropertyInfo property in result.Entry.Entity.GetType().GetProperties()) {
        if (baseType.GetProperty(property.Name).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(RequiredAttribute), true).Any()) {
            property.GetValue(result.Entry.Entity, null);
        }
    }
}
