Attribute not recognized (MVC4): System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.EmailAddressAttribute : DataTypeAttribute about griffin.mvccontrib HOT 5 CLOSED

The problem is that in the EmailAddressAttribute the error message is assigned in the contructor, so it's like the error message is specified as a data annotation.. and it is not created in the database because of this:
// -----------------------------
// specified a message, do nothing
if (attr.ErrorMessage != null && attr.ErrorMessage != WorkaroundMarker)
{
validators.Add(new DataAnnotationsModelValidator(metadata, context, attr));
continue;
}
// -----------------------------

Here the code by microsoft:

namespace System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations
{
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property | AttributeTargets.Field | AttributeTargets.Parameter, AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class EmailAddressAttribute : DataTypeAttribute
{
private static Regex regex = new Regex("^((([a-z]|\d|[!#$%&'*+-/=?^{\\|}~]|[\\u00A0-\\uD7FF\\uF900-\\uFDCF\\uFDF0-\\uFFEF])+(\\.([a-z]|\\d|[!#\\$%&'\\*\\+\\-\\/=\\?\\^_{|}]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])+))|((\x22)((((\x20|\x09)(\x0d\x0a))?(\x20|\x09)+)?(([\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x7f]|\x21|[\x23-\x5b]|[\x5d-\x7e]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(\([\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0d-\x7f]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF]))))(((\x20|\x09)(\x0d\x0a))?(\x20|\x09)+)?(\x22)))@((([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|\d|-|.|_||[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF]))).)+(([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|\d|-|.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF]))).?$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture | RegexOptions.Compiled);

I'm also facing the same issue

from griffin.mvccontrib.

I love the inconsistnency. If they just could stick to one solution to make it easier to localize the attributes.

I'm giving up. I can fix it without using more ASP.NET MVC hacks. I've started to work on an alternative validation library for MVC which will be an drop in replacement.
