IMetadataAware Interface

Definition

Namespace:

System.Web.ModelBinding

Assembly:

System.Web.dll

Defines a method that must be implemented by classes that are metadata-aware.

public interface class IMetadataAware

public interface IMetadataAware

type IMetadataAware = interface

Public Interface IMetadataAware

Remarks

This interface enables attributes to contribute to the process of creating model metadata without requiring a custom metadata provider. It is used by the AssociatedMetadataProvider class, so this behavior is automatically inherited by all classes that derive from the AssociatedMetadataProvider class (notably the DataAnnotationsModelMetadataProvider class).

Methods

OnMetadataCreated(ModelMetadata)

Enables metadata-aware attributes to perform required processing of metadata after the metadata is created.
