Here's the architecture of my app: I have a data access layer in a seperate assembly, with a class containing methods such as List_XYZ, Insert_XYZ, Update_XYZ etc. All methods return or use objects from an object model I've created, which also resides in the data access layer assembly. Inside my mvc app, I've created views, controller...

I have an mvc model class created and one of the properties is of type 'MyObject'. It also has a System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.StringLength attribute on it.

I can't seem to get any client side validation working on a MVC 2 RC app. My model has the following: public class ExampleModel { [Required(ErrorMessage="Test1 is required")] [DisplayName("Test1")] public string Test1 { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage="Test2 is required")] [DisplayName("Test2")] public strin...
I've just started getting into validation in asp mvc 2, and so far have been implementing server side validation through the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations attributes in the model. I agree, the correct place to put constraints is in the model, but is there any way to move the actual error messages into the view instead? ...
I recently recieved the ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Professional book by Wrox, and in the intervening time, I found out that ASP.NET MVC 2.0 is being released soon. Questions Should I MVC 2.0?

I'm using MVC2 with data annotations for validation on my page. I require a name and a valid birth date to be present. I'm providing both, and I break into the date validator to ensure that the birth date is valid (and it is), but for some reason Model.IsValid is false in my post action. I'm not seeing anything in my ValidationSummary. ...

Does the latest ASP.NET MVC 2 validation allow contextual validation? I'm looking for something similar to Castle Validator's "RunWhen" property. It allows you to declare that a validator should only be executed in a particular context. The most obvious use is for Identity fields. The following would specify that the int ID field is ...

I've been running some experiments with ASP.NET MVC2 and have run into an interesting problem.

I've read Phil Haack's post on custom client-side validation in ASP.NET MVC 2. I want to do the same thing but with the jQuery adapter and using ASP.NET MVC 2 RC (as opposed to MVC 2 Beta that the post uses). Has anyone been able to figure how to do this? I specially want to implement the password matching validation (i.e. password & ...
