Realizar la validación del lado del cliente para el atributo personalizado

He aquí cómo proceder:

Comience definiendo el atributo de validación personalizado:

public class FutureDateAttribute : ValidationAttribute, IClientValidatable
{
    public override bool IsValid(object value)
    {
        if (value == null || (DateTime)value < DateTime.Now)
            return false;

        return true;
    }

    public IEnumerable<ModelClientValidationRule> GetClientValidationRules(ModelMetadata metadata, ControllerContext context)
    {
        yield return new ModelClientValidationRule
        {
            ErrorMessage = this.ErrorMessage,
            ValidationType = "futuredate"
        };
    }
}

Observe cómo implementa IClientValidatable . A continuación escribimos nuestro modelo:

public class MyViewModel
{
    [FutureDate(ErrorMessage = "Should be in the future")]
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }
}

Luego un controlador:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View(new MyViewModel
        {
            // intentionally put in the past
            Date = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1)
        });
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(MyViewModel model)
    {
        return View(model);
    }
}

y finalmente una vista:

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.LabelFor(x => x.Date)
    @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Date)
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.Date)
    <input type="submit" value="OK" />
}

La última parte para que suceda la magia es definir el adaptador personalizado:

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    // we add a custom jquery validation method
    jQuery.validator.addMethod('greaterThan', function (value, element, params) {
        if (!/Invalid|NaN/.test(new Date(value))) {
            return new Date(value) > new Date($(params).val());
        }
        return isNaN(value) && isNaN($(params).val()) || (parseFloat(value) > parseFloat($(params).val()));
    }, '');

    // and an unobtrusive adapter
    jQuery.validator.unobtrusive.adapters.add('futuredate', { }, function (options) {
        options.rules['greaterThan'] = true;
        options.messages['greaterThan'] = options.message;
    });
</script>
