Question

My Model:

public class EntryModel
{             
        [Required]
        public string Date { get; set; }

        public string Car { get; set; }

        public string Engine { get; set; }

        public string User { get; set; }

        public int CarCod { get; set; }
        public int EngineCod { get; set; }

    }

My View:

<%=Html.Label("Car")%>
<%=Html.Text("Car", car,new { @class = js_car")%>
<%=Html.ValidationMessageFor(x=>x.Car) %>
<%=Html.TextBox("CarCod", carCod, new { @class = "js_car", @style = "display:none;",@id="_car_cod" })%>

My Problem:

When posting the data, “CarCod” always fires an error at the ModelState, thus rendering both ModelState.IsValid and Html.ValidationSummary useless.

I already have workarounds for this (i.e not using them), but it would be very nice to know why.

Answer 1

To go off of what Garret said, make CarCod and EngineCod nullable.
