- add `DataType` property to `CachedDataAnnotationsMetadataAttributes` in support of `ComputeHasNonDefaultEditFormat()`
- provide doc comments and flesh out the implementation of `DisplayFormatString` and `EditFormatString`
nits:
- add comment about _not_ overriding `ComputeIsComplexType()` in `CachedDataAnnotationsModelMetadata`
- restore alphabetic order in `CachedDataAnnotationsMetadataAttributes`
- seal `SimpleDisplayText` in `CachedModelMetadata<TPrototypeCache>`, matching MVC 5.2
- supports useful property updates of `ModelMetadata` instances in the collection
- provide a controllable ordering using the `Order` value
- part of #964
- #843
- add property as well as the related `[HiddenInput]` attribute
- use this property to address some TODOs in default display and editor templates
- 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 '!'`
- subclasses would not calculate a value because `ModelMetadata` constructor
set this property
- meant presence of a `[Required]` attribute in the model was ignored
- value comes from `Name` property of `[Display]` attribute
- use new property in `@Html.DisplayName()` and `@Html.Label()`; remove associated TODO comments
- this method delegates to a number of `ModelMetadata` properties
- no use cases for overriding; should not be `virtual`
- `ModelMetadata.DisplayName` override using `DisplayAttribute.GetName()` coming in next commit
* Update DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider to use ModelMetadata.IsRequired
* Adding tests and updating existing ones that didn't work with IsRequired
Fixes#533
