Question

When the following code is retrieved via an ajax call no validators are written into the view. Any number of these partial views might be added to the page and the textbox gets a datepicker, so that’s why the unique id is generated. I certainly appreciate any help.vie

@using Nautilus.Core.Model.Enumeration
@using Nautilus.Web.Models
@using Nautilus.Web.Views.Tools
@model IntensityHistoryModel

<tr>
    <td class='removeIntensityScore' title='Click to remove this item.'></td>
    <td>
        <span></span>
    </td>
    <td>
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.IntensityDateGUID)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.IntensityDate, new { id = Model.IntensityDateGUID, @class = "intensityScoreDate", style = "width:120px" })
    </td>
    <td>
        @Html.DropDownList("IntensityScore", ViewHelper.GetSelectListWithDescriptionFromEnum<IntensityScore.Values>("", new[] { "0" }), " -- Select -- ", new { style = "width:150px;margin:0" })
    </td>
</tr>

It’s not including the validation data attributes because the elements are not in a form. The workaround is to initialize a FormContext for your partial view:

@{
    ViewContext.FormContext = new FormContext();
}

<tr><!-- your partial content --></tr>
