我可以在分部类中定义属性,然后在另一个分部类中用属性标记它们吗?

我在Scott Guthrie的一篇文章(接近结尾)中看到过类似的事情——不过,我自己没有尝试过。
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/01/15/asp-net-mvc-2-model-validation.aspx

[MetadataType(typeof(Person_Validation))]
public partial class Person
{
    // Partial class compiled with code produced by VS designer
}

[Bind(Exclude="ID")]
public class Person_Validation
{
    [Required(ErrorMessage = "First Name Required")]
    [StringLength(50, ErrorMessage = "Must be under 50 characters")]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Last Name Required")]
    [StringLength(50, ErrorMessage = "Must be under 50 characters")]
    public string LastName { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Age Required")]
    [Range(0, 120, ErrorMessage = "Age must be between 0 and 120")]
    public int Age { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Email Required")]
    [Email(ErrorMessage = "Not a valid email")]
    public string Email { get; set; }
}

public partial class UserProfile
{
    public int UserId { get; set; }
    public string UserName { get; set; }
    public string Firstname { get; set; }
    public string Lastname { get; set; }
}

比方说,我想添加一个属性来指定UserId是键。然后我会在另一个文件中创建一个分部类,如下所示:

[Table("UserProfile")]
[MetadataType(typeof(UserProfileMetadata))]
public partial class UserProfile
{
    internal sealed class UserProfileMetadata
    {
        [Key]
        [DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        public int UserId { get; set; }
    }
}

这是我的答案
不同的类文件,或者您可以将元数据组合在同一个文件中,但保持名称空间相同..这样它们就可以清楚地看到彼此。

请记住,当您更新模型(如添加更多列)时,也必须更新项目类。

--your model class
public partial class A {
    public string a {get; set;}
}

--your project class 
public class Ametadata {
     [Attribute("etc")]
     public string a {get; set;}
}


[MetadataType(typeof(Ametadata))]
public partial class A
{
}

您需要为您的 A 就像下面的例子

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

// your auto-generated partial class
public partial class A 
{
    public string MyProp { get; set; }
}

[MetadataType(typeof(AMetaData))]
public partial class A 
{

}

public class AMetaData
{
    [System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(0)]
    public string MyProp { get; set; }
}

public class A
{
   public string MyString;
}

public class AMeta
{
   [TheAttribute("etc")]
   public object MyString;
}

...

var myA = new A();
var metaType = Type.GetType(myA.GetType().Name + "Meta");
var attributesOfMyString = metaType.GetMember("MyString").GetCustomAttributes();
