When I read rules from a configuration file, I do something like this:
IConfigurationSource configurationSource = new FileConfigurationSource("myvalidation.
config");
var validator = ValidationFactory.CreateValidator<Salary>(configurationSource);
The
config file looks like this:
<ruleset name="Default">
<properties>
<property name="Address">
<validator lowerBound="10" lowerBoundType="Inclusive" upperBound="15"
upperBoundType="Inclusive" negated="false" messageTemplate=""
messageTemplateResourceName="" messageTemplateResourceType=""
tag="" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation.Validators.StringLengthValidator, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
name="String Length Validator" />
</property>
</properties>
</ruleset>
My question is - is there a way to not specify the ruleset name? It's not required for me to specify a ruleset name if I am using the attribute approach and I can validate using:
ValidationResults results = Validation.Validate(salary);
Now when reading from
config files, I have to specify the ruleset name. There is no overload of the CreateValidator method that accepts the configuration source without specifying the ruleset name. Also, the
xml in the
config file requires a name attribute for ruleset
