I would like to know if it's possible to bypass the validation of one property which is using Data Annotations. Since I use the model across multiple pages, there's a check I need in some, but not in others, so I would like it to be ignored.
I make use of validation with data annotations in my model classes. How do I make sure this annotations are not violated when I validate data in my business layer, before sending it to the DAL? I guess I don't want to define the validation rules in two places (model classes and in my BLL-classes)?
If I have a search object with a list of fields, can I, using the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespace, set it up to validate that at least one of the fields in the search is not null or empty? i.e All the fields are optional but at least one should always be entered.
I am trying to make some sense of this validation stuff in MVC2. I followed various walkthroughs, all them for betas/rcs... and I cant' get anythign to happen. Note: THIS JQUERY - NOT THE MS AJAX STUFF!I have referenced MicrosoftMvcJQueryValidation.js which i got got the mvc2 futures lib.
My model is:
[Code]....
The form bit of my ViewPage<User>:
[Code]....
As far as I can see the only additional thing that is being rendered is this:
[Code]....
Which is interesting/annoying for a few reasons. Firstly all of my annotations appear to have been ignored.Secondly FormId isn't even marked as required, and as this rendered text was taken from a page loaded with a null Model (add mode) the FormId field isn't in the form. Finally, this doesn't even result in any actual validation occuring (on the client side). All the server side validation is working fine.See I am using PasswordFor instead of EditorFor. Because someone at MS testing dropped the ball there. Yes EditorFor renders a password field, but it behaves differently to PasswordFor.. the value of the Password field is sent to the client (set in the value attribute of the field). Fail.
I'm creating a Asp.Net MVC application and I need help on whether I should chose Data Annotations or Service Layer Validation (e.g. if(Model.Name.Trim().Length == 0)?
I have all the properties of the class Person as required using Data Annotations.
[Code]....
In the View I loop the List like this:
[Code]....
Generated HTML:
[Code]....
Result:
Does not work at all.
Other things I've tried:
Tried using these HTML Helper methods instead:
[Code]....
Generated output:
[Code]....
Result:
Interestingly, when I trigger a validation on the first textbox, it fires simultaneously for all of the textboxes. The rest of the textboxes do not trigger validation at all.
Looking at the generated id and names for the textboxes and their corresponding error text span element, they areall identical.
Anyone figure out how to use Client Validation with Data Annotations with a List in the view data, supporting Model Binding?
I am migrating my application to MVC3 and getting this error message Validation parameter names in unobtrusive client validation rules must start with a lowercase letter and consist of only lowercase letters or digits.How can I ovoid it without going and modifying all my ViewModels
If I enable client side validation in the view I'll get the error per the Attributes from the metadata class. If I take clientside validation out, error gets thrown from saving to the DB rather than return the view with an Error Summary.
This is the top portion of my view....
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%> <%: Html.ValidationSummary(true) %>
I've tried running without debugging (ctrl + f5) in debug and release mode as well as setting breakpoints and Debugging (f5) but it just seems weird to get Client side validation without server side validation. What am I missing here?
I am using VS2010 RC and i created a buddy class. My problem is that i cant seem to see the option to change the Display name of a column.i only see "displaycolumn" and "displayformat".
I have various questions about validation using data annotations. I am using the following setup
asp.net mvc 2 entity framework 4 data annotations
Basically, I'm trying to get unique validation working and i'm a little confused. My models are as follows:
public class Buyer { public int Id { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage = "The email is required")] public string Email { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage= "The name is required")] public string Name { get; set; } } public class Seller { public int Id { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage = "The email is required")] public string Email { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage= "The name is required")] public string Name { get; set; } }...............................................
Whenever the date is displayed, it's displayed like: 01/01/2011 12:00:00 AM
But I'd like to only display 01/01/2011
Is there a way to apply a display format with data annotations? I don't want to have to go to every instance where I display a date, and add some code to format it.
I have an application which has rows of data in a relation database the table needs a status which will always be either Not Submitted, Awaiting Approval, Approved, Rejected Now since these will never change I was trying to decide the best way to implement them I can either think of a Status enum with the values and an int assigned where the int is placed into the status column on the table row.
Or a status table that linked to the table and the user select one of these as the current status.
I can't decide which is the better option as I currently have a enum in place with these values for the approval pages to populate the dropdown etc and setup the sql (as it currently using to Approved and submitted for approval but this is dirty for various reasons and needs changed).
Wondering what your thought on this were and whether I should go for one or the other.
If it makes any difference I am using Entity framework.
I have a Car class that I'm trying to display in an MVC 3 view using the WebGrid helper. Below are the Car and it's metadata class.
Car class:
[MetadataType(typeof(CarMetadata))] public partial class Car { // car implementation } Car metadata class: public class CarMetadata { [DisplayName("Car Name")] [StringLength(100, ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(ValidationText), ErrorMessageResourceName="CarNameDescriptionLength")] [Required] public string CarName { get; set; } }
View contents:
@model List<Car> ... var grid = new WebGrid(Model, canPage: true, rowsPerPage: 10); grid.Pager(WebGridPagerModes.NextPrevious); @grid.GetHtml( htmlAttributes: new { id = "grid" }, columns: grid.Columns( grid.Column("CarName", ?????) ));
GOAL: I'd like to figure out how to use the DisplayName data annotation as the column header text in the WebGrid (?????). Does anyone know how this is accomplished?
I need to defining the Series parameters for an MS Chart.
Using the sample data below is it possible to set the X & Y value types for a graph with all days for the month on the X axis and the total number of visits for each day on the Y. Are MS Charts capable of auto generating the X axis based on the extents of the data dates as well a counting the daily instances?
The component works fine in a windows app, but when I tried to use it in an asp.net website, it fails as the site could not find the data files. And it gives me the following error:

quick question: I have a view on my HomeController which is used to create a new 'model'. This view posts to a different controller to keep things tidy. The problem I am having is when I enter invalid details into the form, the rules I specified never seem to make it back to the original view and thus my validation messages or summary never get populated. Is there a way around this because I am using a view model with two IEnumerable lists in it.
I am using Data Annotations in ASP.NET MVC2 for data validation.There are cases where Model is invalid in Control Action method, by the time I received it. So I add defaults [where data is not present in cetain scenarios, for valid reasons. Other times it is error].All I want to do at this point is, because I updated the model, I want to re-validate model - so that it re-applies all validation again as per data annotations.
If I call Controller.ValidateModel method, I am getting exception saying, it cannot take the model object or type is not correct.If I don't re-validate, my Model.IsValid is false -even though I set up defaults.I am wondering if there a way I can call to re-validate model, from in-side a controller action?
I am using one datalist control for uploading multiple images.I hv used one Asp:FileUplaod Control and one button in one itemtemplate.I am using reqired field validator and regular expression validator for file upload cntrl I am assigning validation group for both of them on ItemDataBound event of my datalist so that each upload cntrl hv same validaton group as required field and regular expression validator.Now what i want to do is - i want to show my error message in validation summary which is right at the top of the page.I want one know how to write javascript that will assign validation group of my control in datalist on which i click ?
I am working with a formview edititemtemplate. Currently in my page load, i have some stuff that would show or hide certain panels based on dropdownlist values. These dropdown values get binded during page load. I need to be able to change the values/dropdowns, without rebinding the old data, and updating the visibility of the panels based on predefined rules.
I have experimented with putting my formview.databind() in page load if isnotpostback, in prerender, in prerender if isnotpostback. I have tried my rules (ex if ddlState.selectedvalue = "DE" then pnlDelaware.visible = "true") in the page load, and the page render. I'm just not sure how to get the stars aligned here. The closest i have come is having the databind in the pageload if notispostback, and the rules in the prerender. However I get an error "dropdownlist has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.
I've been used to decorating data model classes with data annotation attributes, but the purist in me baulks slightly at including purely presentational attributes such as display format here. I am, however, quite happy to keep validation centric attributes here. One good reason I have to continue keeping all annotations etc. in the data model is that my view model aggregates data model classes, e.g.
my ViewModelBase.DetailItem<TEntity> property in the view model is just a reference to an entity class in my data model. If I wanted to move presentational annotations to the view model, I would have to quite radically revise my design to one where I duplicate data model properties in my view model and use an object mapping tool to populate view model objects based on data model objects.
