Dynamically apply validation rules at runtime with ASP.NET MVC 4

Question

I\'ve been working in WebForms for years but I\'m fairly new to .NET\'s flavor of MVC. I am trying to figure out how to apply dynamic validation rules to members of my model

Answer 1

I havent been working with MVC4 for a long time, so forgive me if i am wrong, but you can server side and client side validation using jquery-val (already available to you if you used the "internet application" template when creating your project) and attributes:

public class Device
{
    public int Id {get; set;}
    public ICollection Settings {get; set;}
}

public class Setting
{
    [Required]
    public int Id {get; set;} 
    [Range(1,10)]
    public string Value {get; set;}
    [Required]
    public bool IsRequired {get; set;}
    public int MinLength {get; set;}
    public int MaxLength {get; set;}
}
