MVC :: Returning View When ModelState Not Valid
Feb 25, 2010
I've written a View (form) that has a section with two radio buttons and a blank <DIV> block that will dynamically be updated. When one radio button is clicked, a <DIV> on the page is updated with fields specific to that radio button option. When the other radio button is clicked, the <DIV> on the page is updated with fields specific to that radio button option. To determine what content gets displayed when a radio option is selected, I call a JavaScript function and set the content appropriately using jQuery. Pretty easy so far. Let's assume that the User has toggled the radio buttons and filled in some data. Further down in the form, the User has entered an invalid e-mail address. When the User submits the View, the ModelState is invalid. If it is invalid, I return the View.
[Code]....
Problem is, when the View is returned, some of the form fields (that are static) are in place. However, the <DIV> that was previously updated based on User radio button selections is reset to its original state. When we return a View because of an invalid Model State, is MVC smart enough to return the View in it's modified state (in this case, with the modified DIV and dynamically added content)?

I am working in an ASP.NET MVC Application. I have a view model as follows:
[code]....
From UI Perspective user can enter date as mmddyyyy. And when user enters in such format 01012001, my ModelState.IsValid code piece in controller returns false. When I did a quick watch in ModelState, I see an error for the propery "SampleDate", saying "The Value 01012001 is not valid for SampleDate".
In my modelbinder, during the OnModelUpdated event I tried to format the value 01012001 to 01/01/2001 and assigned it back to SampleInterestViewModel.SampleDate thinking that ModelState.IsValid might return true without that error. But still ModelState.IsValid is false and I when I looked in to the ModelState dictionary, this particular property still has that errors in its collection.
Lastly I tried to format 01012001 and update the value 01/01/2001 directly to the Property SampleDate in the ModelState dictionary. But still ModelState.IsValid is false showing the same error for the SampleDate property. Can't figure out why ModelState.IsValid works and how and when it gets set to false.
If the User enter 01012001 in the UI, I still need to format it in the modelbinder to 01/01/2001 and make sure that ModelState.IsValid it true so that the rest of my controller code can work as expected. In the UI I am doing an AjaxSubmit to post the sampleDate value.

My problem is that though there are values in the modelstate, the error messages are not being displayed in the View. What is wrong with my code?

for debugging purposes, how do I see the ModelState errors from code in the action method? ModelState.IsValid returns false. I want to copy the error messages to a variable so I can display them in the debugger.

I've been working with MVC 2 for awhile and ive done ReturnToAction as well as ValidationSummary - but this is a little different in that my "submit" buttons are controls by javascript/JQuery - i debug the action and it does go into the correct Controller Action but once it passes over RedirecToAction, nothing happens....
My second problem is that my ValidationSummary fails to show - i run a test and when it returns a View when ModelState is invalid - nothing shows up
Is it a problem with my buttons/forms/submit/JQuery?
[Code]....
And the Controller looks like this:
[Code]....
My Services handle things like validation, I pass it the ModelState and a ModelStateDictionary wrapper and add errors - am i adding errors incorrectly?

After wading through quite a few articles on creating modal forms (using partial views and jquery) I got things working fine for my login....as long as you enter a valid login though!
What I did:
Created a partial view containing my login form.
In my action controller, the get action just return a PartialViewResult, which get dealt with by a bit of jQuery in my master:[Code]....
Like I said this works fine. Now the post action of my login check if it's a valid login, and if so send the user to the passed returnurl or the home page.
However, if the validation fails, I now return the partial view again, which work , but the partial get displayed by itself instead of rendering in the modal form that was opened by jquery.

I have a partial view (an ascx page (see below)) that is used on every page on my site. Its basically a form, when the user hits submit I need it to call a procedure in one of my controllers and then return the page the user was on.

I have a action filter:
[Code]....
Once the action filter handles the validation, instead of redirecting to another pages is it possible just to return the view associated with the action with the updated modelstate? Basically this is to handle business validation exceptions thrown by the business layer in a generic way.

What i would like to accomplish is that a partiel view contains a form. This form is posted using JQuery $.post. After a successfull post javascript picks up the result and uses JQuery's html() method to fill a container with the result.
However now I don't want to return the Partial View, but a JSON object containing that partial view and some other object (Success -> bool in this case).
I tried it with the following code:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Edit(int id, Item item)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
try
{
[Code].....
However I don't get the HTML in this JSON object and can't use html() to show the result. I tried using this method to render the partial as Html and send that. However this fails on the RenderControl(tw) method with a: The method or operation is not implemented.

I'm building an ASP.NET MVC site where I want one of the Views I return to be automatically scroll to a certain point.The part of the site where I want this to occur works sort of like a forum - there are "threads" that contain "posts". A user can either browse to the whole paginated thread or can browse to a specific post, using its ID. When a user browses to a specific post, I want to show the regular thread interface, then browse to the page that the post is on and scroll down to the post.
Is it possible to somehow automatically scroll down to a certain point when returning a View from an action in an ASP.NET MVC site? If so, how do I do this?NOTE: One solution to this problem that I've found is how Stack Overflow and the other Stack Exchange sites do it: each answer to a question can be linked to by adding #ID to the URL. If it's impossible to automatically scroll down when returning a View, I would implement this instead, but I don't understand how to use such an approach when there are multiple pages and the post in question isn't on the current page.UPDATE:Based on Chris' answer, I'm currently planning to implement it with the URL looking like this: example.com/forum/[ForumID]/thread/[ThreadID]/post/[PostID]#[PostID]. In my Action, I figure out what page of the Thread the Post is on, and then I return all the Posts from that page to the View.However, I noticed something special in how Stack Overflow solves this problem. Try going to: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/57170 - it ends up sending you to http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/57155/gravatar-bugs-and-improvements-in-chat/57170#57170.

I'm having troubles remembering how to grab the list view's state, or page, so that when you leave the list, you can return to the list view page you left on. I have a data pager, and I have hyplerlinks for items in the list view that take you to a file upload or file delete page, and then returns to the list view. It returns to the list view's initial state (first page).

I've got and SqlDataSource bound to a GridView, and I'd like to return the value of one of the fields from the SqlDataSource during GridView.RowCreated (I think). At the same time, one of the fields I'm returning to the GridView has a Null value, which I'm cool with, but Runtime is complaining about it so how can I get around errors relating to Null values in my tables?

When adding a stored procedure into the Entity Data Model I can select whether the procedure returns a scalar, a (new) complex type or one of the entity types I already defined.I mean assuming I have a view like this
CREATE VIEW FilteredFoos as SELECT Foo.* FROM Foo join ... WHERE ...(that is a view that implements some involved filtering, but returns all columns from one table) how do I add it to the project so that I can use the entity set, but get the Foo objects, not some new FilteredFoo objects.
var foos = myDB.FilteredFoos.Include("Bar").ToList();
foreach (Foo foo in foos) { ...

I have created a custom validation attribute for a class. The validation is actually against one property of the class, but since it needs to be compared to another property of the class at runtime, I had to pull in everything from the input form, perform the validation and output the errors. This being the case, I manually added a ModelError to ModelState if the ModelStats.IsValid returned false. I have another thread that goes into this, as I still haven't been able to make the client-side validation work for the custom validation (built-in validation runs client-side without a problem).
Here's the issue: I want to use the Post/Redirect/Get pattern to avoid issues where users refresh their page and cause another post of the form data. If I complete my Controller action and return a View after assigning an error with ModelState.AddModelError, I get the user feedback with the red input field and error message shown. However, just returning a View like this makes you vulnerable to the repeated posts issue. I want to use RedirectToAction to perform a get and avoid this problem, but when I do that I no longer have the ModelState error feedback on my rendered View. Here're the calls I'm making:

I'd like to be able to redirect to a get action and retain the ModelState.

Here's an excerpt from the controller action:

It appears that must use a string as the error's key. Is there a way i can generate the corect key from the model, or should I just check for what input name Html.PasswordFor(x => x.NewPassword) returns?

I created a Model to do registration on my Website, and add some validations to it. When the user inputs a data, the data will be checked for validity using ModelState.IsValid. But when I input a correct data, it always be invalid. So I decided to debug my program and found that there are an extra key in my ModelState.
For my model, I have UserName, Email, Password, ConfirmPassword, SecretQuestion and SecretAnswer (6 elements)But when I debug, in ModelState, I found 7 elements, they are UserName, Email, Password, ConfirmPassword, SecretQuestion SecretAnswer and the last one is "".I don't know why there is an extra "" in my ModelState, and I checked that it was the source of my error.
Below I enclose my source to make it clearer

Im using the following code:
[code]....
To return a partial view and a form through JSON. It works as it should, but as soon as I get modelstate errors my ValidationSummary does not show. The JSON only return the default form but it does not highlight the validation errors or show the validation summary.
Am I missing something?
This is how I call the RenderPartialToString:
string partialView = RenderPartialToString(this.ControllerContext, "~/Areas/User/Views/Account/ChangeAccountDetails.ascx", new ViewDataDictionary(avd), new TempDataDictionary());

I am creating a custom 'control' which is simply made of two html inputs [type=text] but can't figure out how the validation will work on the view end.
I want to treat these 2 inner controls as asingle control so when a error is added to modelstate both of these inputs are highlighted in the view and a single validation message is shown.

Is it necessary to do a ModelState.IsValid check at the top of every action? It seems that it is since the default model binder could make it invalid depending on the action parameters.
