I am not sure what I am doing wrong with Xval and remote Validation

Question

Hi

I been going through this tutorial and it looks really good. So I went through it and downloaded the sample file.

I been playing around with it and I understand how to use it and was able to add my own validation too it.

So I decided to add it to my current project I am working on. I was able to get it to compile and run yet when I try my form no validation(both client side and server side) happens.

I don't know why. So I made a another project and tried to add all the stuff again yet I don't know what I am missing it does not work.

You can download it here

This is the only real way I can show you theirs too many files to copy and paste the code around.

I am not even using the remote validation part for my tests yet too. I am only using like straight stuff from xval like the one thing I had is "Required Email".

Thanks

Edit now I get an error

Answer 1

Have you read the error closely? It looks like a file can't be found. I'm surprised it'd even compile, but I don't know much about file referencing. This error is on your testing box, and not after you publish it to another machine?

I'd start with removing it from your references and re-adding it.

Apparently DataAnnotations requires .NET 3.5SP1, but you should have that if you're even marginally up-to-date.

I had a similar issue. I downloaded the Data Annotations Model Binder Sample, built, and referenced the new assemblies in my project. Worked like a charm.
