Answer 1

You could write a custom validator attribute deriving from ValidationAttribute

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class)]
public class CustomValidateAttribute : ValidationAttribute
{
    public override bool IsValid(object value)
    {
        var model = (MyModel)value;
        return model.MinValue < model.MaxValue;
    }
}

And decorate your model with this custom attribute:

[CustomValidate]
public class MyModel
{
    public decimal MinValue { get; set; }
    public decimal MaxValue { get; set; }
}
