I want to utilize Validator.TryValidateValue() but don't understand the mechanics. Say, i have the following: public class User { [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false)] [StringLength(6)] public string Name { get; set; } } and the method: public void CreateUser(string name) {...} My validation code is: ValidationAttribute[] attrs = bit of reflection here to populate from User class var ctx = new ValidationContext(name, null, null); var errors = new List<ValidationResult>(); bool valid = Validator.TryValidateValue(name, ctx, errors, attrs); It works fine until value of name is null . I'm getting ArgumentNullException when instantiating ValidationContext and don't understand why. TryValidateValue() also demands non-null context. I have a value and a list of attributes to validate against. What is that ValidationContext for?
