WebApi integer validation

Question

I'm using WebApi model validation to validate my request to only accept integer in the body by doing this:

[Range(0,10)]
public int AwesomeLevel { get; set; }

But if i send in a string value, the validation does not fail and the AwesomeLevel is set to 0.

AwesomeLevel="NotValid"

How can I make sure my validation will fail when a non integer value, in this case a string, is sent for this property?

Try changing your model to be

[Required, Range(0, 10)]
public int? AwesomeLevel { get; set; }

This should force the client to set a valid value for the property. See here for more details.
