ASP.NET MVC. Non required fields are required in validations

Question

I do have a POCO Class with some non required fields:

class MyClass{

    [DataType(DataType.Time)]
    [Display(Name = "1st interval")]
    public TimeSpan t1{ get; set; }

    [DataType(DataType.Time)]
    [Display(Name = "2nd interval")]
    public TimeSpan t2 { get; set; }

    [DataType(DataType.Time)]
    [Display(Name = "3rd interval")]
    public TimeSpan t3 { get; set; }
}

but whenever I set the [Required] annotation or not. the validations fails. I always got the "2nd interval is required" message on my view.

I'm using only Server validation.

How can I solve it?

Make the properties nullable - public TimeSpan? t2 { get; set; } — user3559349

There are 2 ways: using nullable properties or use [Bind(Exclude)]. Similar problem: stackoverflow.com/questions/2142990/… — Tetsuya Yamamoto

The TimeSpan is not nullable by default

Use Nullable;

public Nullable<TimeSpan> t2 { get; set; }

or

public TimeSpan? t2 { get; set; }

is it equivalent to public TimeSpan? t2 {get;set;} ?
