The property is self contained - it can't access local variables (i.e. variables which are declared within the scope of a method) because they only exist for the lifetime of the method - when the method returns, the variable is genuinely destroyed and no longer exists to be accessed!
Your property can only access variables which are scoped to the class, so they are either static (in which case there is only one for all instances of the class) or they are declared public, private, protected, internal, or protected internal - none of which can be applied to local variables.
Local variables are held on something called the stack, which is part of the thread that does the actual execution, not as part of the class instance.

Thank you all for help, everything worked out, I just had to sit through some toutorials, books and webpages. The program is finished and it's all looking very pretty and realiable.
Now though, I have a very annoying thing about C# to complain about, and I need to ask for some tip on how to handle it properly using some good C# practices...
I have a lot of arithmetic calculations to be solved in the program, and they return wrong values if I don't explicitly specify that a number 2 is a double and not an integer...... For example:
double number = (double) 6 / (double) 10;
box_d.Text = number.ToString("F3") + " cm";
double number = 6 / 10;
box_d.Text = number.ToString("F3") + " cm";
and on top of that, all future calculations based on this result are also wrong, it's not the fault of the ToString() method. The variable is just wrong!
I mean... I don't mind parsing values like 0.5 as 0.500000019747272 etc. But Having 6/10 display as 0 instead of 0.6 is just so stupid, is there any logical reason for it to be like this? I understand that the program is trying to fit the result into an integer, but I explicitly state that my result must be double... I thought it's supposed to reduce the amount of memory used by the program if I set such simple numbers as integers, but if this kind of errors occur, is it even worth it? What is the good practice to work around this thing?
Should I never define any simple numbers like "2" or "8" as integers but use only "double" for everything?

The problem you have is that you're dividing two integers, so the result will be truncated to an integer before the result is stored in your variable.
Only one of the casts is unnecessary; if either the numerator or denominator is a floating-point type, the other will be converted to that type before the division takes place.
You can simplify your code by using a numeric suffix:
However, if you want an integer number to be treated as double, use the suffix d or D, for example:
double x = 3D;
So in your example:
double number = 6D / 10D;
There are other suffixes you can use to denote other numeric types:

Hi all friends,
I have a Model which is needed to have different validation attributes assigned to it in different Conditions, I don't have to create multiple classes for different attributes, because the same model class is being used in multiple post methods.
Following is my class:
public class ServiceFunctionCategoryLKP
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Code is required.")]
[StringLength(2, MinimumLength = 2, ErrorMessage = "The field {0} length must be at least 2.")]
public string Code { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Description is required.")]
public string Description { get; set; }
public string ServiceFunctionCategoryCode { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "ModeOfServiceCode is required.")]
public string ModeOfServiceCode { get; set; }
public string ModeOfServiceDescription { get; set; }
public int CodeLenth {get; set;}
}
StringLength attribute should be different for different calls, is there any way I can have set it differently or dynamically depending upon the input object of the action method. Means I have a field in my input object as above called CodeLength, depending upon this field I have to change the StringLength attributes MinimumLength and Error message properties dynamically, it means in every different Post call, it could be different depending upon the CodeLength field value.
If I have tried in the following way, with IsValid method, problem is how would I know CodeLength field (that is coming as a property of Object in action method) within IsValid method to compare the length of the field with CodeLength field.
public override bool IsValid(object value)
{
int num = (value == null) ? 0 : ((string)value).Length;
return value == null || (num >= this.MinimumLength && num <= this.MaximumLength);
}
Any help would be greatly greatly helpful, thanks in advance friends.
Thanks,
Abdul Aleem

"Baked in" at compile time, apparently.
Might try overriding the properties in question with a derived class for each of the "different conditions".

Not easily, but it can be done.
You're going to need to create a custom DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider, and modify the rules it returns.
validation - Possible to change Data Annotations during Runtime? (ASP.NET MVC's [Range] [Required] [StringLength] etc.) - Stack Overflow[^]
Eg:
public class CustomModelValidatorProvider : DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider
{
protected override IEnumerable<ModelValidator> GetValidators(ModelMetadata metadata, ControllerContext context, IEnumerable<Attribute> attributes)
{
if (metadata.Model is ServiceFunctionCategoryLKP model && metadata.PropertyName == nameof(model.Code) && model.CodeLength >= 0)
{
var newAttributes = new List<Attribute>(attributes);
var stringLength = newAttributes.OfType<StringLengthAttribute>().FirstOrDefault();
if (stringLength != null)
{
newAttributes.Remove(stringLength);
if (model.CodeLength != 0)
{
newAttributes.Add(new StringLengthAttribute(model.CodeLength)
{
MinimumLength = model.CodeLength,
ErrorMessage = $"The field {{0}} length must be at least {model.CodeLength}."
});
}
attributes = newAttributes;
}
}
return base.GetValidators(metadata, context, attributes);
}
} Register in Globals.asax.cs:
ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Clear();
ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Add( new CustomValidatorProvider() );
NB: You're effectively allowing the user to override the validation rule by modifying a hidden field on the page. As a result, the validation can't really be trusted.
It would be better to create a separate model class for each required code length.

Just checking, is it going to remove all the other Validations that I have put on other classes?

No. It checks that the instance being validated is the specific model class; that the property being validated is the Code property; and it only replaces the StringLength validator on that property.

One last thing, I have created the method in the following way:
public class CustomModelValidatorProvider : System.Web.Mvc.DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider
{
protected override IEnumerable<System.Web.Mvc.ModelValidator> GetValidators(System.Web.Mvc.ModelMetadata metadata, ControllerContext context, IEnumerable<Attribute> attributes)
{
if (metadata.Model is LookupTable)
{
LookupTable model = metadata.Model as LookupTable;
if (metadata.PropertyName == GetPropertyName(() => model.CodeLength) && (model.CodeLength > 0))
{
var newAttributes = new List<Attribute>(attributes);
var stringLength = newAttributes.OfType<StringLengthAttribute>().FirstOrDefault();
if (stringLength != null)
{
newAttributes.Remove(stringLength);
if (model.CodeLength != 0)
{
newAttributes.Add(new StringLengthAttribute(model.CodeLength)
{
MinimumLength = model.CodeLength,
ErrorMessage = @"The field {{0}} length must be at least {model.CodeLength}."
});
}
attributes = newAttributes;
}
}
}
return base.GetValidators(metadata, context, attributes);
}
public string GetPropertyName<T>(Expression<Func<T>> propertyLambda)
{
var me = propertyLambda.Body as MemberExpression;
if (me == null)
{
throw new ArgumentException("You must pass a lambda of the form: '() => Class.Property' or '() => object.Property'");
}
return me.Member.Name;
}
}
can you please let me know how can I decorate or use it on my Model class, can you please give me that example, I am asking this question because this value is coming as null: metadata.PropertyName, so I am not able to compare with property name. So any help please?
thank you very very much buddy - as I said earlier have a Wonderful weekend with family and friends buddy.
Thanks,

You register the provider in Global.asax.cs:
ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Clear();
ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Add( new CustomValidatorProvider() );
I'd expect to see the PropertyName set to null for the class-level validation, but I'd expect the method to be called again for each property on the class.
You're currently checking whether the validators are for the CodeLength property; you need to customise the validators for the Code property instead.
if (metadata.PropertyName == GetPropertyName(() => model.Code) && ...
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."
- Homer
|
|
|
|

ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Clear();
ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Add( new CustomValidatorProvider() );
I did this registration in the Global.asax.cs file, in the Application_Start() event.
And even if I changed the Condition to:
if (metadata.PropertyName == GetPropertyName(() => model.Code) && (model.CodeLength > 0))
Still I am getting the metadata.PropertyName null always, can you please suggest me what am I missing?
Just asking am I using any wrong namespace in references?, Because it was saying there is an ambiguous class names and those classes present in both the following namespaces using System.Web.ModelBinding; using System.Web.Mvc;
Am I using any wrong namespace or something like that kind of error, I am not understanding why is it giving metadata.PropertyName as null in all the cases?
Thanks,
Abdul Aleem

Sorry, I picked the wrong property to test against. Replace metadata.Model with metadata.Container:
if (metadata.Model is ServiceFunctionCategoryLKP model && metadata.PropertyName == nameof(model.Code) && model.CodeLength >= 0)
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

But still the attributes value in IEnumerable<attribute> attributes coming as null when I already have one Attribute on that class and when I try to expan the attributes collection object, it shows me "Enumeration yielded no results" in the end.
public class LookupTable
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Code is required.")]<br />
public string Code { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Description is required.")]
public string Description { get; set; }
public int? ForeignKeyId { get; set; }
public string ForeignKeyValue { get; set; }
public DateTime? CreatedDate {get;set;}
public string CreatedBy {get;set;}
public int CodeLength { get; set; }
}
Do I need to add anymore Attributes to the Code Property?, what am I missing here my friend?
Even after I changed my function to have Container instead of Model, still I get null at metadata.PropertyName
Always metadata.PropertyName is coming as null irrespective of any changes I do at if (metadata.PropertyName == GetPropertyName(() => model.Code) && (model.CodeLength > 0))
in the below function and attributes is also coming as null.
protected override IEnumerable<System.Web.Mvc.ModelValidator> GetValidators(System.Web.Mvc.ModelMetadata metadata, ControllerContext context, IEnumerable<Attribute> attributes)
{
if (metadata.Model is LookupTable)
{
LookupTable model = metadata.Container as LookupTable;
if (metadata.PropertyName == GetPropertyName(() => model.Code) && (model.CodeLength > 0))
{
var newAttributes = new List<Attribute>(attributes);
var stringLength = newAttributes.OfType<StringLengthAttribute>().FirstOrDefault();
if (stringLength != null)
{
newAttributes.Remove(stringLength);
if (model.CodeLength != 0)
{
newAttributes.Add(new StringLengthAttribute(model.CodeLength)
{
MinimumLength = model.CodeLength,
ErrorMessage = @"The field {{0}} length must be at least {model.CodeLength}."
});
}
attributes = newAttributes;
}
}
}
return base.GetValidators(metadata, context, attributes);
}
Thanks,
Abdul Aleem

I don't know what to suggest. I've tested the code, and it works. 
If you're not putting a static StringLength attribute on the property, you'll need to the if (model.CodeLength != 0) block outside of the if (stringLength != null) block:
if (stringLength != null)
{
newAttributes.Remove(stringLength);
}
if (model.CodeLength != 0)
{
newAttributes.Add(new StringLengthAttribute(model.CodeLength)
{
MinimumLength = model.CodeLength,
ErrorMessage = @"The field {{0}} length must be at least {model.CodeLength}."
});
}
attributes = newAttributes;
But if you're never seeing a value in metadata.PropertyName, then there's something else going on.
I assume you have actually enabled unobtrusive validation?

No I have not done this: unobtrusive validation, can you please let me know how to do it only on one particular class and property that I want.

Assuming that frmPopup is a dialog, you should only show it when you need to use it to communicate something to the user. Use the Form.ShowDialog() method so it does not stay on screen.
|
|
|
|
|
Set the popup forms TopMost property to true and use the Form.Show method instead of Form.ShowDialog
That way, it'll "float" above Form1, and you will still be able to enter data in the Form1 Textbox.

You can set the 'Owner property of the pop-up Form to be the first Form ... which I assume is the Main Form. That will guarantee that when you show the pop-up, it will remain "above" the Main Form.
To get further assistance, I suggest you describe what your goal is in more detail: what is the relation of data the user enters on the Main Form to the what is displayed on the pop-up Form ?
