Question

I am wondering how do I get the key name from Model Sate or Model State Dictionary.

When you add a error to the dictionary

  modelStateDictionary.AddModelError("key","errorMessage");

you have to specify a key.

I want to get the key name.

 foreach (ModelState modelState in modelStateDictionary.Values) 
            {



            }

I did the above but that only contains the error message I want to know what the key of that was. I only can find to get all keys that gets stored in a list of strings. I want to get it out each time I go through the foreach loop. So can I not get a key name by index or something?

You can also enumerate the .Keys property

foreach (var key in modelStateDictionary.Keys) 
        {
            ModelState modelState = modelStateDictionary[key];
        }
