Remarks

You apply the RequiredAttribute attribute to a property to specify that the property must contain a value. A validation exception is raised if the property is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), an empty string (""), or contains only white-space characters.

Examples

The following example shows how to apply the RequiredAttribute attribute to a property that contains values for a last name.

Public Class Customer
  <Required()> _
  <StringLength(50)> _
  Public Property LastName As String
    'Implement Get and Set logic
  End Property
End Class

public class Customer
{
  [Required]
  [StringLength(50)]
  public string LastName { get; set; }
}
