MVC :: Adding Validation Error Message To Html.ValidationSummary()?
Apr 22, 2010
How is it possible to add a custom error message to the ValidationSummary HtmlHelper? Can it be part of my model? It's for a sign up form and I need to validate whether the user already exists.
I am creating a web form that requires a lot of validation. I use many of the validation control in asp.net already like RequiredFieldValidator and CompareValidator.
My Problem: after my custom validation for the value entered return an error message, and I pressed enter key when the field is empty, my custom error message is overlapped by my ValidationSummary.
Setting my custom error to visible = false on button click also does not seem to work as it requires for me to enter the value first.
This made me think, is there a way to insert my custom validation inside the ValidationSummary as an error message like for other validation control?
I've placed Html.ValidationSummary(true) on my page so that an error can be displayed that are not associated with a field.
This renders the following html <div class="validation-summary-errors"><ul><li style="display: none;"></li> when there are some ModelState errors are present, all of which are associated with a field. ie there are no page level errors
I've put some background and border styles on the div which give the look that I want.
The problem is that the div is visible even though the collection is empty.
I understand why this is happening but was wonder if there where any techniches to prevent the html from being rendered or to hide the div using styles if the ModelState errors collection is empty?
If its possible I'd like to avoid using jquery to hide the validation summary as the site should work without javascript.
I have searched and Googled for the answer to this question to no avail. I'm using EF4 and ASP.NET MVC2 and I have an EF4 entity "Award" with a non-nullable string field, "RecipientID". I'm using DataAnnotations for server-side validation, so in my "Award" partial class I've set up the RecipientID to have the Required attribute. When I try to submit the form with the RecipientID text box empty, I see my error message "Please enter a recipient" in the Html.ValidationSummary twice.
Would this be because the error is being thrown both by the entity (in that it is a non-nullable field with a null value), as well as the application? Whatever the reason, is there a way to "fix" this and have the error message show up only once? (Fix being in quotations because I'm not sure if this is intended behavior or not.) I didn't think it would be necessary to include relevant code, but I will if it's needed.
I have forgotte password page in my application,page have one textbox to insert email address,when user click on submit button if inserted email address (i.e. abc@gmail.com) does not exits in DB it will give custome error message like "Email ID not available".after that suppose user will enter inproper email address (aaa#gmail.com) than client side validation for regular expression will file "Email id not valid",at same both message be on screen,now i want only one message at a time.so please can you help me for same
1) I have a createUserWizard and ForgetPassword Controls...I believe they don't have the Validation Summary Controls, but they throw out the error message(for controls like email validation etc) through ValidationGroup....now how do i throw the error message to the users as MessageBox(since i can't set the ShowMessageBox ="true" in ValidationSummary Control)???2) also i m checking the PasswordStrength at the web.config file.....When i m trying to throw the error message to the usersusing the Message Box....it doesn't actually throw the error message that i created(instead it throws me an MessageBox saying "new Password does not match the regular expression specified in the Config file
<asp:CustomValidator ID="QuestionValidator" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Please select an option" ClientValidationFunction="QuestionValidator_ServerValidate" OnServerValidate="QuestionValidator_ServerValidate" ValidateEmptyText="true"></asp:CustomValidator>
[code]...
When I run the page, there is no validation and no error message. Please can you point out where I am going wrong, I'm suspicious it is at Page.Master.FindControl("form1").Controls.I have previously done such validation by looping through controls via form1.controls but this is unavailable as the page uses a form passed down via the master page.
Above Resource Expression will give me message like "Fill Information.". What I have in resource file is "Fill {0} Information." which should show end user message like "Fill Address Information.".
I decided to use jquery validations because asp.net validation controls are so crazy inside the update panel.But I need to plase the error messages in the specified div whose class is putmehere ! I am unable to do that. here is my code;
How can i use Javascript to dispaly the error msg in validation summary . i have the validation summary in master page, and would like to add some error msg if i find some custom errors.
control is checking that a textbox.text value is a string. If I input a number the error message appears as expected, but does not dissapear when I enter text backover the numbersDoes anyone know how I can solve this problem as I cannot submit the form?
I got a view that uses the ajax.beginform tag.This works great but if I want to do some validation to the data and then return a error message to the page it doesnt work for me.Here my code :
This is something thats been bugging me for a while. I can't even remember if I fixed this before or not. What I'm trying to do is display a single error message for all validation controls on my page. I think this is possible if you write your own javascript function for a Custom Control, hiding the error message, and displaying it on a single control. Writting all the javascript for this and then refering to the control with "GetElementByID". But can I use controls like RequiredFieldValidator, and make them display messages on one single control without having to write javascript for each one of them? One single message on one single literal or label or whatever, at the bottom of the page, that says "fill in the compulsary fields" or something similar. I find it very annoying having a list of validators underneath each other with different messages.
After this message is displayed , no pages is able to access ....
The error message is :
Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster
I use validation control in my page when users click on button if they don't enter data in textboxs it show massage in validation control
I want In addition to using validation control when users click on button to insert data it show error massage thar show EX: "please complete your form"
Is there anyway to trigger the ValidationSummary before the user hits a button that causes validation?I have a bunch of text boxes with Required and Rregex validators attached, as I type in them and tab out they trigger their errors however the summary doesn't show anything until I hit the Submit button. Any way to have the ValidationSummary update itself in the same way as all other validators?
I'm trying to add a new html attribute to my ValidationSummary Html control like this:
<%= Html.ValidationSummary(new { id = "validationSummary" })%>
VS compiler has no problem with it, however when it comes to running it in the browser I get the nasty error message saying:
'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<Adgistics.Mvc.ViewModels.Forum.IForumCreateOutModel>' does not contain a definition for 'ValidationSummary' and the best extension method overload 'System.Web.Mvc.Html.ValidationExtensions.ValidationSummary(System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper, string)' has some invalid arguments
I am trying to make an AJAX Form work correctly with Client Validation, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work together.Currently I have a view like this:
[Code]....
My model:
[Code]....
The client validation works on the Required and Stringlength attributes, but if I put an incorrectly formatted email, it still returns successful. Is there a special way to do the regular expression attribute? Or am I doing it wrong?
