自定义ConfigurationElement属性验证失败

使用自己创建的ConfigurationElement时,一个字符串属性Name无法验证通过导致Element无法被构造,属性定义如下:

  
    
[ConfigurationProperty( " name " , IsRequired = true )] [StringValidator(InvalidCharacters = " ~!@#$%^&*()[]{}/;'\"|\\ " , MinLength = 1 , MaxLength = 60 )] public string Name { get { return ( string ) this [ " name " ]; } set { this [ " name " ] = value; } }

错误提示是"The value for the property 'name' is not valid. The error is: The string must be at least 1 characters long."当然事实上在config文件中定义的name值是满足条件的。

原因在于ConfigurationElement对象构造时,会首先用默认值来初始化各个属性,而这个默认值同样会接受validator的检验。这里的默认值是string.Empty,所以当然不满足条件了。

解决办法是为ConfigurationPropertyAttribute设置DefaultValue:

  
    
[ConfigurationProperty( " name " , DefaultValue = " unnamed " , IsRequired = true )] [StringValidator(InvalidCharacters = " ~!@#$%^&*()[]{}/;'\"|\\ " , MinLength = 1 , MaxLength = 60 )] public string Name { get { return ( string ) this [ " name " ]; } set { this [ " name " ] = value; } }

同时由于这个属性是必须的(IsRequired = true),所以也不必担心默认值会真的被使用。

此处指出了另一种可行的办法,而不必提供一个无用的默认值:
