MVC 2 Data annotations problem
- by Louzzzzzz
Hi. Going mad now. I have a MVC solution that i've upgraded from MVC 1 to 2. It all works fine.... except the Validation!
Here's some code:
In the controller:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Linq;
using System.Security.Principal;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using MF.Services.Authentication;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
namespace MF.Controllers
{
//basic viewmodel
public class LogOnViewData
{
[Required]
public string UserName { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Password { get; set; }
}
[HandleError]
public class AccountController : Controller
{
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult LogOn(LogOnViewData lvd, string returnUrl)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
//do stuff - IsValid is always true
}
}
}
}
The ModelState is always valid. The model is being populated correctly however. Therefore, if I leave both username and password blank, and post the form the model state is still valid. Argh!
Extra info: using structure map for IoD. Previously, before upgrading to MVC 2 was using the MS data annotation library so had this in my global.asax.cs:
ModelBinders.Binders.DefaultBinder = new Microsoft.Web.Mvc.DataAnnotations.DataAnnotationsModelBinder();
Have removed that now.
I'm sure i'm doing something really basic and wrong. If someone could point it out that would be marvellous.
Cheers
