Entity Framework Core Cookbook - Second Edition

Validating simple properties

Let's see how we can use attributes to validate properties.

Getting ready

We will be using NuGet Package Manager to install the Entity Framework Core 1 package, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore. We will also be using a SQL Server database for storing the data, so we will also need Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer.

Finally, xunit is the package we will be using for the unit tests and dotnet-text-xunit adds tooling support for Visual Studio. Note that the UnitTests project is a .NET Core App 1.0 (netcoreapp1.0), where Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design is configured as a build dependency and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools is set as a tool.
