Data Annotations Validator (Miscellaneous)

Validate your models anywhere in your application

There are many places in your applications that you wish you could use the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations attributes and then automatically validate your objects with a single call. Now you can!

Here is how you can use the validator

var application = new Application()
    {
        Applicant = new Person
        {
            Email = "[email protected]",
            FirstName = "John Connor Wright Teddington",
            LastName = null
        },
        Address = new Address
            {
                StreetName = "123 CodeVille Terrace",
                City = "See Sharp" 
            },
        PaymentDetails = new Payment
            {
                CreditCardNumber = "4111111111111110" 
            }
    };

if (DataAnnotationsValidator.Validate(application))
{
    // Do something awesome!
}
else
{
    // Let your user know that something awful happened.
}
