StringLengthAttribute Class

ASP.NET Dynamic Data enables CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operations in a data model. You can specify the minimum and maximum length of characters for each field when data is being inserted or updated. For character data types, the MinimumLength and MaximumLength properties identify the largest number of bytes that are required in order to store a string.

The following example shows how to limit the number of characters in a field. This example works with the ThumbnailPhotoFileName field in the Products table in the AdventureWorksLT database. The field is limited 4 characters by applying the StringLengthAttribute attribute to the partial class that represents the Product entity.

[MetadataType(typeof(ProductMetadata))]
public partial class Product
{

}

public class ProductMetadata
{

    [ScaffoldColumn(true)]
    [StringLength(4, ErrorMessage = "The ThumbnailPhotoFileName value cannot exceed 4 characters. ")]
    public object ThumbnailPhotoFileName;

}
