Data Annotation Ranges of Dates

问题:

Is it possible to use [Range] annotation for dates?

something like

[Range(typeof(DateTime), DateTime.MinValue.ToString(), DateTime.Today.ToString())]

回答1:

Docs on MSDN says you can use the RangeAttribute

[Range(typeof(DateTime), "1/2/2004", "3/4/2004",
        ErrorMessage = "Value for {0} must be between {1} and {2}")]
public datetime Something { get; set;}

I did this to fix your problem

 public class DateAttribute : RangeAttribute
   {
      public DateAttribute()
        : base(typeof(DateTime), DateTime.Now.AddYears(-20).ToShortDateString(),     DateTime.Now.AddYears(2).ToShortDateString()) { } 
   }

jQuery validation does not work with [Range(typeof(DateTime),"date1","date2"] -- My MSDN doc is incorrect

回答4:

For those rare occurrences when you are forced to write a date as a string (when using attributes), I highly recommend using the ISO-8601 notation. That eliminates any confusion as to whether 01/02/2004 is january 2nd or february 1st.

[Range(typeof(DateTime), "2004-12-01", "2004-12-31",
    ErrorMessage = "Value for {0} must be between {1} and {2}")]
public datetime Something { get; set;}

Here is another solution.

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Date Of Birth is Required")]
[DataType(DataType.Date, ErrorMessage ="Invalid Date Format")]
[Remote("IsValidDateOfBirth", "Validation", HttpMethod = "POST", ErrorMessage = "Please provide a valid date of birth.")]
[Display(Name ="Date of Birth")]
public DateTime DOB{ get; set; }

The simply create a new MVC controller called ValidationController and past this code in there. The nice thing about the "Remote" approach is you can leverage this framework to handle any kind of validations based on your custom logic.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace YOURNAMESPACEHERE
{
    public class ValidationController : Controller
    {
        [HttpPost]
        public JsonResult IsValidDateOfBirth(string dob)
        {
            var min = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-21);
            var max = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-110);
            var msg = string.Format("Please enter a value between {0:MM/dd/yyyy} and {1:MM/dd/yyyy}", max,min );
            try
            {
                var date = DateTime.Parse(dob);
                if(date > min || date < max)
                    return Json(msg);
                else
                    return Json(true);
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                return Json(msg);
            }
        }
    }
}

I use this approach:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property | AttributeTargets.Field | AttributeTargets.Parameter, AllowMultiple = false)]
internal sealed class DateRangeAttribute : ValidationAttribute
{
    public DateTime Minimum { get; }
    public DateTime Maximum { get; }

    public DateRangeAttribute(string minimum = null, string maximum = null, string format = null)
    {
        format = format ?? @"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.FFFK"; //iso8601

        Minimum = minimum == null ? DateTime.MinValue : DateTime.ParseExact(minimum, new[] { format }, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None); //0 invariantculture
        Maximum = maximum == null ? DateTime.MaxValue : DateTime.ParseExact(maximum, new[] { format }, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None); //0 invariantculture

        if (Minimum > Maximum)
            throw new InvalidOperationException($"Specified max-date '{maximum}' is less than the specified min-date '{minimum}'");
    }
    //0 the sole reason for employing this custom validator instead of the mere rangevalidator is that we wanted to apply invariantculture to the parsing instead of
    //  using currentculture like the range attribute does    this is immensely important in order for us to be able to dodge nasty hiccups in production environments

    public override bool IsValid(object value)
    {
        if (value == null) //0 null
            return true;

        var s = value as string;
        if (s != null && string.IsNullOrEmpty(s)) //0 null
            return true;

        var min = (IComparable)Minimum;
        var max = (IComparable)Maximum;
        return min.CompareTo(value) <= 0 && max.CompareTo(value) >= 0;
    }
    //0 null values should be handled with the required attribute

    public override string FormatErrorMessage(string name) => string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, ErrorMessageString, name, Minimum, Maximum);
}

And use it like so:

[DateRange("2004-12-01", "2004-12-2", "yyyy-M-d")]
ErrorMessage = "Value for {0} must be between {1} and {2}")]
