Question

So im new to MVC3 and expirimenting with DataAnnotations for the validation.
All is working fine clientside, but how do I get the serverside version working?
If I disable Javascript then there are no validations to be seen.

My Model looks like this

[Required(ErrorMessageResourceName = "Verplicht", ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof (ValidatieStrings))]
    [Display(Name="Voorletters", ResourceType = typeof (VeldNaamStrings))]
    public string Voorletters { get; set; }

My Controller looks like this

using System.Web.Mvc;
using inschrijven_werknemer.Models;

namespace inschrijven_werknemer.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : LocalizationController
    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View(new MedewerkInfoModel());
        }
    }
}

And my View looks like this

@model inschrijven_werknemer.Models.MedewerkInfoModel

<div class="stap-div" id="stap2">
    @Html.EditorForModel("MedewerkInfoModel")
</div>

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

you can do something like this… using Model.IsValid property.

So you could try this:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index()
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        return View(new MedewerkInfoModel());
    }
    return View();
}
