Hello Tolis,

When validation was initially implemented, validation of dynamic members was not supported. It's not supported in old XAF modules, such as ConditionalFormatting, etc. either.
See a similar issue in our Support Center for more technical details: The ConditionalEditorState module cannot be used with dynamic members.
However, we plan to improve the current state of affairs in the future: Validation - Use XAFTypesInfo instead of .NET reflection for all operations. Please track it. Once it is implemented, this scenario will be supported by the validation module.

Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis

I needed to support dynamic members on existent types as long with dynamics types for WorldCreator module. The dynamics part has finished and everything is working ok and i am one step from releasing the module to the public. So if you could change the setter of TargetPropertyName of RulePropertyValueProperties class from

[C#]

if(TargetType != null && TargetType.GetProperty(value) == null) {
                        throw new
Exception(string.Format("TargetType doesn't contain the '{0}' property", value));
                    }

[C#]

if(TargetType != null && TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(TargetType).Find(value, false) == null) {
                        throw new
Exception(string.Format("TargetType doesn't contain the '{0}' property", value));
                    }

dynamic members with validation will be a reallity for eXpand and everyone will be much happier.

ps: I have already made the change at my sources and everything works as expected .

Hello Tolis,

Thank you for your suggestion. I've added a note about it to the S33602 suggestion. We will see whether we will change this code in the nearest future, or together with the complete implementation of the S33602 suggestion.

Thanks,
Anatol
