Validation Summary for Collections
- by Myster
Hi All,
EDIT: upgraded this question to MVC 2.0
With asp.net MVC 2.0 is there an existing method of creating Validation Summary that makes sense for models containing collections? If not I can create my own validation summary
Example Model:
public class GroupDetailsViewModel
{
public string GroupName { get; set; }
public int NumberOfPeople { get; set; }
public List<Person> People{ get; set; }
}
public class Person
{
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter your Email Address")]
[RegularExpression(@"^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$", ErrorMessage = "Please enter a valid Email Address")]
public string EmailAddress { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter your Phone Number")]
public string Phone { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter your First Name")]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter your Last Name")]
public string LastName { get; set; }
}
The existing summary <%=Html.ValidationSummary %> if nothing is entered looks like this.
The following error(s) must be corrected before proceeding to the next step
* Please enter your Email Address
* Please enter your Phone Number
* Please enter your First Name
* Please enter your Last Name
* Please enter your Email Address
* Please enter your Phone Number
* Please enter your First Name
* Please enter your Last Name
The design calls for headings to be inserted like this:
