Is there a dataannotation validate rule for a collection based property? I have the following
<DisplayName("Category")>
<Range(1, Integer.MaxValue, ErrorMessage:="Please select a category")>
Property CategoryId As Integer
<DisplayName("Technical Services")>
Property TechnicalServices As List(Of Integer)
I'm looking for a validator that I can add to the TechnicalServices property to set a minimum for the collection size.
in the sense that MVC does not complain about my protected inner abstract Metadata class, and the model validation still works:
Partial Domain Object, generated by a tool:
Partial Public Class SampleDomainObject
Private _id As Integer
[code]....
I did this because I didn't want to have to implement actual properties with backing fields, getters, and setters in VB.NET for the Metadata class to keep the maintenance to a minimum (I'm on .NET 3.5, no auto-properties for me).What I'm worried about is that having a protected abstract inner class could be confusing to others using this domain object outside of MVC (my domain objects are part of a shared data access framework).
I have a very simple Business Rules Engine that has only three methods. One gets all the rules for the current operation, one will retrieve a list of parameters for the rules, the last applies the rules. The rules are stored in the database as user defined functions using parameters. The client will call the BRE pass in the operation and a Lot Number and the BRE checks for any rules that apply to this operation for this Lot. The client gets a list of rules that apply (the names of the corresponding UDF's in the database) and at which step in the operation the rule applies. When the material gets to a step that has a rule, it calls BRE to get parameters for the UDF for that operation, fills in the parameters with data contained in the GUI and calls the BRE to apply the rule with this lot's specific data. Multiple lots can share the same rule that is why there are parameters for the UDF. This all works well. However, this is assuming we have a set number of rules for each lot at each operation. If the lot needs a new rule applied at this operation we have to add a new rule and corresponding UDF into the BRE database. This is not a problem, the client will now see two rules, however, it only knows how to apply the parameters for the first rule, and there is no code for applying the parameters for the second rule.
For example: Rule 1 states that only the same Lot number items can be put into a carton. So the UDF expects one parameter called LotID and one parameter called Carton ID. It runs the rule (UDF) with these parameters and checks to ensure the lots match. Now the Lot requires a second rule: Only 25 items can be packed in the carton. We create a new rule and corresponding UDF, but this rule has the CartonID and a quantity associated with it.
The GUI can handle Rule 1 because it knows how to apply the correct data from the GUI to the parameters for the Rule and execute the rule, so LotID from the GUI = LotID in the parameter name in the UDF and CartonID from the GUI = CartonID parameter name in the UDF. Now there is a new rule, the GUI sees this new rule, gets the parameters, but has no way to applying the quantity to the new parameter to execute the rule without having to change the GUI. We don't expect there to be many rule changes, however, when they do occur we don't want to have to recompile the GUI every time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to create a class that could determine the how to apply set the correct parameters? We have thought about a table in a database that maps the parameter names in the UDF with parameter names in the GUI so when we add a new UDF we update the table with the corresponding data from the GUI. That could work but may get cumbersome and would require us to make sure that, that table is kept current. Another suggestion was to name the parameters in the UDF the same as the parameters in the GUI, but this too, would require us to maintain the names in two locations.
I want to enforce validation rule in create table statement for a coloumn. im using vb.net as front end and access as back end.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to pass some parameters into a data annotation, and it is rejecting my named parameter. It's the same exact syntax in Microsoft's documentation for the TableAttribute, except in the documentation they have an uppercase N, but intellisense on the parameter in VS asks for a lower case n. It looks like the constructor was updated, but the tooltip wasn't, because this is what shows up when you get the syntax prompt: And I needed to be able to specify schema. But now I've found another way to do this. Why I was trying named parameters in the first place; because this wasn't working. Apparently I missed trying this syntax, which works.
View 2 RepliesI am using data annotations to validation my class properties. A requirement has emerged to store the validation error messages in an external file from which they would be loaded into memory at runtime.I thought I'd be able to load a colleciton of error messages from an XML file and then set ErrorMessage:=[StringVariableHere] ... but apparently that doesn't work as you need to use a constant value.If I store the errormessages in a Resource.resx file then those error messages are compiled into the project and can't be loaded at runtime - or am I wrong?

I have dragged across the details of a table from the data sources onto a form. So VS2008 automatically generate the BindingNavigator, DataAdapter,Dataset, ...etc. On the form I hv also placed an errorProvider and listbox, which is bound to the bindingsource. So as user clicks on the items of the listbox, the values of the textboxes changes accordingly. My question is how do I validate the values in the textboxes.

The general purpose of my application simply reads a line of text for example:
1. I have a printer issue
2. I have a software issue
I have a rule set as follows:
'Define the class 'Printer' with 14 values as a string...
Dim Printer(13) As String
'The string 'Printer' gets assigned a value, this is repeated another 13 times...
Printer(0) = "Printing"
[code]....
The code simply uses a number of keywords to detect if the issue is a 'printer', 'software', 'telephone',. or 'password' problem.I want to apply this rule set to 10 issues within the same rich text box, with the results sent to a text file. The exporting to a text file I can do, however the main issue is, i cannot read the lines individually.

What is the best method to do data validation? I want to do data validation when the user exits a control so that he gets immediate feedback. I can use the Validating event or the Leave event for that. The problem is, that if the user doesn't know the right answer, and just wants to click the cancel button and leave the form completely, it won't let him. It continues to give him an error message until he completely deletes his answer. Very frustrating. Does anyone have a good method for doing this?

View 3 RepliesI'm currently working on a data entry application in VB.NET and I'm using data-bound controls by simply dragging the table from the Data Sources window onto the form. It's my first time doing this, but this will save me quite a bit of time since this table has plenty of fieldsAnyway, my problem is that when I enter an invalid value in a textbox and then delete the text it won't let me select other controls or even close the form!
For example, say I have an Age field in the DB, which is an int and I mistakenly type "," on its textbox. Then I decide I actually want to leave that field blank (considering it allows nulls) so I just delete all of the textbox's contents, after doing so, I'm not able to switch focus to another control or close the form.
I have a simple business rules engine that I need to write. I have looked at both Biztalk and Windows Workflow, but they are to much for what we need to do. This is a process that material will come to an operation, the GUI will check for three rules, one for the operation, one for the steps in the operation, and one for the item coming into the operation. These are the only three checks that will be done. It is possible there will be more than one rule for each check. I have a simple database set up to contain all the operations, steps and products and there is a crosstab table that links all the rules to each item. Here is an example of some rules (these are actual rules from the process):
