Question

I am working on a project written on mvc 4 that got several instances of wizard-like behaviour – chain of few views that pass the same half-filled model. Starting from the second view controls are initially shown as non-valid (which is logical – model, passed to controller method has corresponding properties empty). Currently
ModelState.Clear();
solution is used, but putting it into each method with model as an argument looks ugly. Same with approach found here Disable Model Validation in Asp.Net MVC

ModelBinders.Binders[typeof(MyModelType)] = new NonValidatingModelBinder();

Project got too many (over 100) model classes to register each one manually.

Is there simpler way (maybe key in .config) that turns off model validation completely?

Answer 1

I don’t know it this could work but did you try this (bootstrap code or global.asax)

ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Clear();
