Question

When all property validation passes but the login info passed in is incorrect, I want to display a model-level error that reads:

Incorrect login. <a href="/reset">Reset Password</a>.

@Html.ValidationSummary() is encoding the html.

I have tried creating a custom HtmlHelper for this but it’s still doing the same thing.

I’ve also checked the source code and the ValidationSummary method uses internal methods that I can’t use to recreate a helper for this.

Is there a way, whether in my view or in a HtmlHelper, to write an Html message if there is a model-level error?

Answer 1

I will use TempData to solve your problem.

In your method you set the message in

TempData["Error"] = "my error <a href=\"url\">link</a>";

then from your view you check if TempData[“Error”] is not empty and then with

@Html.Raw(TempData["Error"])

you should get your message not encoded
