前几天我遇到了同样的问题,并且能够通过实现一个自定义验证器类来解决它,该类的功能与 ObjectValidator 的功能非常相似,只是它将被评估的属性的评估延迟到实际的 DoValidate 方法,并且如果属性为空,则不会继续构建验证器。

当然,您还需要创建一个 RuntimeObjectValidatorAttribute 类,以便您可以这样做:
public class AClassThatReferencesItself
{
private AClassThatReferencesItself _other;
private string myString;
[NotNullValidator]
public string MyString
{
get { return myString; }
set { myString = value; }
}
[RuntimeObjectValidator]
[NotNullValidator]
public AClassThatReferencesItself Other
{
get { return _other; }
set { _other = value; }
}
}
