✅ ValidationContext in ASP.NET

What does ObjectInstance and ObjectType mean? afaik 1) ValidationContext is basically on which class the validation is performed. 2) ObjectInstance is where we have all the values for a model class 3) I'm not sure what object type is. What does this code do here?

PropertyInfo? otherproperty = validationContext.ObjectType.GetProperty(PropertyName);

                    DateTime from_date = Convert.ToDateTime(otherproperty.GetValue(validationContext.ObjectInstance));

PropertyInfo? otherproperty = validationContext.ObjectType.GetProperty(PropertyName);

                    DateTime from_date = Convert.ToDateTime(otherproperty.GetValue(validationContext.ObjectInstance));

I'm trying to fetch a different property value from in the same model class Model class

//Multiple Properties using Reflection
public string? FromDate { get; set; }

[DateRangeValidator("FromDate", ErrorMessage = "From Date should be less than To Date.")]
public string? ToDate { get; set; }

//Multiple Properties using Reflection
public string? FromDate { get; set; }

[DateRangeValidator("FromDate", ErrorMessage = "From Date should be less than To Date.")]
public string? ToDate { get; set; }

❔ WinForms Topmost property not working as intended.

Hi, I've create a basic forms app which will block the user's screen, the app's window state is maximized, and top most property is set to true. When i try to do alt tab, I'm able to switch to other applications sometimes and some times I'm not able to switch as intended. What could be the issue causing this inconsistency?

✅ why IActionResult and why not ActionResult?

It's recommended to use IActionResult as the return type when we are returning any action method, but why are we using the interface? Why not just ActionResult? I've also seen while returning a dictionary we use IDictionary as the return type, why is it like this? I know interfaces contain definition of methods which has to be implemented when inherited by a class.

❔ WinForms WebView2 pop up window exposes task bar issue

Hi, I'm building a forms application where I've integrated WebView2 and the source url is e learning portal, where user can do trainings. I've kept the form fullscreen and topmost so that user is forced to complete them. But the issue is the trainings in the e learning portal open a pop up window, when this happens webview2 is focused on that pop up window and the task bar is visible. This can lead to user killing the application.
