Form Validation with a data source

[Scott Peal]

I we are using a bound data object which was created by entity framework, same an Employee class. How do we use it with the class created to hold the form validation rules which are bound to the controls? 

This forum post helped a lot, but the form controls are bound to the Employee class in the razor page and not the Employee class of my data access lay (EF Core) which is also called Employee.

I realize I can map between the two, but that basically makes the ease of using binding harder. Thanks for the help.

Hi Scott, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion support. 

 

We have validated your requirement. we need to load the model class (entity class ex: Employee class) to load the data to the component to validate by using data annotation logic.

So what does that mean? Does that mean we need to map from/to the Entity Framework generated classes? If yes, that is a horible approach.

Is there any way to just extend the EF generated classes?

Hi Sureshkumar,

That Accelist.FluentValidation.Blazor package did the trick!  I can still use my Entity Framework generated classes with validatation now. Adding this to the Syncfusion Blazor framework would be a value add to your customers.

Here is the URL to the project for others looking for a solution to this in the short term:
