MVC 多语言记录1 设置默认的ResourceType

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3260748/default-resource-for-data-annotations-in-asp-net-mvc

Add this class somewhere in your project:

 public class ExternalResourceDataAnnotationsValidator : DataAnnotationsModelValidator<ValidationAttribute>
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The type of the resource which holds the error messqages
    /// </summary>
    public static Type ResourceType { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// Function to get the ErrorMessageResourceName from the Attribute
    /// </summary>
    public static Func<ValidationAttribute, string> ResourceNameFunc 
    {
        get { return _resourceNameFunc; }
        set { _resourceNameFunc = value; }
    }
    private static Func<ValidationAttribute, string> _resourceNameFunc = attr => attr.GetType().Name;

    public ExternalResourceDataAnnotationsValidator(ModelMetadata metadata, ControllerContext context, ValidationAttribute attribute)
        : base(metadata, context, attribute)
    {
        if (Attribute.ErrorMessageResourceType == null)
        {
            this.Attribute.ErrorMessageResourceType = ResourceType;
        }

        if (Attribute.ErrorMessageResourceName == null)
        {
            this.Attribute.ErrorMessageResourceName = ResourceNameFunc(this.Attribute);
        }
    }
}

 and in your global.asax, add the following:

 

// Add once
ExternalResourceDataAnnotationsValidator.ResourceType = typeof(CustomDataAnnotationsResources);

// Add one line for every attribute you want their ErrorMessageResourceType replaced.
DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider.RegisterAdapter(typeof(RangeAttribute), typeof(ExternalResourceDataAnnotationsValidator));

 

 

It will look for a property with the same name as the validator type for the error message. You can change that via the ResourceNameFunc property.

EDIT: AFAIK this works from MVC2 onwards, as DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider was introduced in MVC2.

To achieve this, I created a new class that inherits from RequiredAttribute, and the error message is embedded inside this new class:

The error message is taken from the ValidationResource.resx file, where I list the error message as follows:

public class RequiredWithMessageAttribute : RequiredAttribute
{
    public RequiredWithMessageAttribute()
    {
        ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(ValidationResource);
        ErrorMessageResourceName = "RequiredErrorMessage";
    }
}

 

RequiredErrorMessage --> "{0} is required."

where {0} = display name.

I then annotate my models like this, so I never have to repeat my error message declarations:

[RequiredWithMessage]
public string Name { get; set; }

 

Once you do this, an error message ("Name is required.") will appear whenever validation fails.

This works properly with ASP.NET MVC's server-side validation and client-side validation.
