I'd like to be able to only allow a form to submit if the value in a certain field is greater than 0. I thought maybe the Mvc Range attribute would allow me to enter only 1 value to signify only a greater than test, but no luck there as it insists on Minimum AND Maximum values.
Any ideas how this can be achieved?
You can't store a number bigger than what your underlying data type could hold so that fact that the Range attribute requires a max value is a very good thing. Remember that ∞
doesn't exist in the real world, so the following should work:
[Range(1, int.MaxValue, ErrorMessage = "Please enter a value bigger than {1}")]
public int Value { get; set; }
I found this answer looking to validate any positive value for a float/double. It turns out these types have a useful constant for 'Epsilon'
Represents the smallest positive System.Double value that is greater than zero.
[Required]
[Range(double.Epsilon, double.MaxValue)]
public double Length { get; set; }
