1. Validator.tryvalidateobject Always Returns True Story
2. Validator.tryvalidateobject Always Returns True Value

Apr 05, 2018  I converted my public fields to properties and I am still not getting validation errors when properties marked as required are null. I am wondering what else might be short-circuiting the validation. The check is being hit, but the result is always true (valid). – Joey Morgan Apr 2 '18 at 1:37.

I am writing a simple model validator to check data read from configuration files, I'm using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations

When I call

It always returns true. I've tried [StringLength(5)] and [MaxLength(5)].

Try this:

Note: validateAllProperties = true

Documentation says:

true to validate all properties; if false, only required attributes are validated.

Brilliant design.
