The fix splits client validation and model validation into two separate hierarchies.
Introduced ClientModelValidatorProvider in MvcOptions, which can be iterated to produce IClientModelValidators.
As a result of this, HtmlGenerator code can be free of ActionBindingContext and directly consumes options.
This also means that we do not modify the client validations during resource filters.
This change removes reflection from validator providers, and instead
relies on cached metadata in in the modelmetadata.
In general this means that our MVPs don't need to cache anything, they
just look at the metadata and create what they need.
In the case of data-annotations, we update the model details provider to
add validation attributes to the modelmetadata. This would allow someone
to replace the DataAnnotationsValidatorProvider, but still use the
metadata in these attributes.
The change to the IModelValidatorProvider api (to use a context) is
intended to minimize allocations. Currently each validator provider needs
to return a list so you end up with N+1 lists (N validators + a final list
to compine them all). This change will let us just create the final list
(and a small context object). This is a very very high traffic API so it
seemed worth doing.
There's also some general massaging of namespaces and file locations.
Separates the MMP into two phases:
1). Creation of the ModelMetadata, discovery of properties and attributes
(reflection) is part of the MMP
2). Lookup of details based on attributes is now part of another phase,
and has its results cached.
Users can now implements and register an IFooMetadataProvider to customize
a single aspect of metadata (see how data annotations does it).
Changes here are all focused around MaxModelErrors on
ModelStateDictionary.
MaxAllowedErrors now defaults to 200 (same as options). This means that
constructing a new ModelStateDictionary with the default constructor will
use this default. There's a new constructor for creating a
MaxAllowedErrors with a non-default value.
The ControllerActionArgumentBinder is now responsible for setting the
value from options onto ActionContext.ModelState. This results in better
layering and guarantees the option is respected if someone uses
extensibility to call model binding.
ModelStateDictionary.CanAddErrors is renamed to MaxErrorsReached. We
wanted to change the behavior of this property, but realized that it's
very useful inside the model validation code, so opted to renamed.
There's also a bunch of doc cleanup inside ModelStateDictionary to
simplify things and improve clarity.
This also comes with a rename of the namespace
Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.ApplicationModel to
Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.ApplicationModels.
Also tuned up some parameter and variable names for increased
understandability.
Fix: The MvcOptions takes in a list of ExcludeFromValidationDelegate (Func<Type,bool>). This func verifies if the type is excluded in validation or not.
2. Cleaning up the IInputFormatter to the final version.
3. Updating the input formatters and the context to be compliant with the IInputFormatter interface.
4. Adding Functional Tests.
- Not cleaning up TempInputFormatterProvider.

- fix problems at least with Roslyn compiler and VS IntelliSense or the Object Browser
- `<see langref="keyword"/>` generates nothing
- `<example>` at top level (outside `<summary>`) generates nothing
- curly braces don't become angle brackets outside `<see cref="reference"/>` references
- yeah, a point @yishaigalatzer asked about in a previous PR
- `<see href="reference"/>` is not valid
- correct some invalid use of angle brackets and remove useless empty elements
- correct unresolved XML comment references; generally, add namespace prefix
Symptoms for some of the above issues included
- generated XML comments such as `<!-- Badly formed XML comment ... -->`, usually indicating an unclosed element
- generated XML attributes such as `cref="!:..."`, indicating a broken reference
- in a couple of cases we had `<typeparamref cref="TOption"/>`; attribute should be `"name"`
Few wording changes beyond
- `"opening </form> tag"` -> `"<form> start tag"`
- `"closing </form> tag"` -> `"</form> end tag"`
Also correct two typos in `HtmlHelper`
Will create a unit test to ensure XML syntax doesn't degrade going forward. Separate PR.
- for now, check using `dir -r *.xml | sls '!'`
Move compilation and VirtualPathViewFactory to be singletons
And cache access to files.
The cache time is controlled by MVC options.
The cache is implemented in the ExpiringFileInfoCache.cs
