Data member is the binding source Property name .I just don’t want to show the datamember name.

How can i remove this from validation summary?

Answer 1

I have found the solution .

By using DisplayAttribute of DataAnnotations we can change the display name of the viewmodel property.

For Example:

  [Display(Name="First Name")]
  public string FirstName
    {
        get { return firstName; }
        set
        {       
                firstName = value;
                RaisePropertyChanged("FirstName");

        }
    } 

By setting Display now ValidationSummary will Show Display attribute name instead of propertyName.
And if you don’t want to show any name just errors in Summary just set Display attribute as [Display(Name=””)]
