Mvc2 validation summary and required metadata
- by Arnis L.
source code...
Thing is, if i specify required metadata using fluent modelmetadata provider like this=
public class Foo
{
public string Bar { get; set; }
}
public class FooModelMetadataConfiguration : ModelMetadataConfiguration<Foo>
{
public FooModelMetadataConfiguration()
{
Configure(x => x.Bar)
.Required("lapsa") ;
}
}
And write this into my view =
<% Html.BeginForm(); %>
<%= Html.ValidationSummary() %>
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(x=>x.Bar) %>
<% Html.EndForm(); %>
And add this to home controller =
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(Foo foo)
{
ViewData["Message"] = "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC!";
return View(foo);
}
It will output this html =
<div class="validation-summary-errors">
<ul>
<li>lapsa</li>
<li>The Bar field is required.</li>
</ul>
</div>
I can't understand why 2nd error is rendered and how to omit it.

I think this is a known issue of asp.net mvc, i could not remember the exact location where I have read it, I suggest you post the issue in asp.net mvc issue tracker over codeplex.
But before i post anything on issue tracker - i would like to understand first what exactly is wrong.
Any help with that?
