## Remarks
This property represents an entity member name, not the name of a corresponding data field. Therefore, this name is not a localized name. It should be set only for property or parameter contexts.

## Remarks

This property represents an entity member name, not the name of a corresponding data field. Therefore, this name is not a localized name. It should be set only for property or parameter contexts.

In .NET Framework 4.7.2 and earlier versions, when using a custom <xref:System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.ValidationAttribute?displayProperty=nameWithType>, the `MemberName` property returns `null`. Starting with .NET Framework 4.8, you can change the default behavior so that the property returns the member name by adding the following setting to your app config file:

```xml
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="aspnet:GetValidationMemberName" value="true" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>
```
