How To Add Custom ModelValidatorProviders To Web API Project?
- by Mark S.
I'm moving some MVC code to Web API and I need to update my custom ModelValidatorProviders. It seems as though my validators can stay much the same only they should inherit the System.Web.Http.Validation namespace.
What I can't figure out is how to add the provider to Web API. When using MVC I can just add the following to my global.asax:
ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Add(new CustomModelValidatorProvider());
How do I use the custom provider with Web API?
