Enterprise Library Validation with RadDataForm and RadDataServiceDataSource

[Santiago]

Hello Telerik Team,

I'm trying to use the Enterprise Library Validation Block for Silverlight 5 using Metadata of the classes for specify the validation term for every property.

Here is my Code:

[Metadatatype(typeof(CustomerMetadata))]
public partial class Customer
{

}

public class CustomerMetadata
{

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "El nombre es requerido")]
        [StringLengthValidator(1, RangeBoundaryType.Inclusive, 2, RangeBoundaryType.Ignore, MessageTemplate = "Name is Required")]
        public string Name{
               get;
               set;
        }

}

Where the class Customer is the generated class from the ServiceReference (OData v2). But when I bind my RadDataServiceDataSource to the RadDataForm the validation is not performed.

The question is.. Is it possible to Use this validation approach?

Thank You for your help

Hello Santiago,

Currently, we do not support such validation. What you can try instead is to work with DataAnnotations.
Still, I will research the case to see whether we could improve the behavior.
