I'm using dataannotations in an MVC2 app and am a little discouraged when trying to use RESX file resources for error messages.

I've tried the following but keep getting the exception "An attribute

[Required(ErrorMessage = Resources.ErrorMessages.Required)]

[Required(ErrorMessageResourceName = Resources.ErrorMessages.Required, ErrorMessageResourceType = typof(Resources.ErrorMessages)]

I keep getting that error message unless I replace ErrorMessageResourceName with "Required" instead of Resources.ErrorMessages.Required.

Can anyone tell me if I'm doing this right?

Summary: DataAnnotation's automatic handling of an "int?" is making me rethink using them at all. Maybe I'm missing something and an easy fix but I can't get DataAnnotations to cooperate.
