Question

I have this code :

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Password is required")]
[DisplayName("Password")]
public string Password { get; set; }

I’d like, in some case, in my controller force the ModelState to false and show an error on the password field but with a different ErrorMessage

Is it possible ?

Thanks,

You can do this…

ModelState.AddModelError(string key, string errorMessage);

so in your case something like that.

ModelState.AddModelError("Password", "My fancy new message");

the key is the name of the property.

hope this helps
