Asp.net MVC3 validation issue with jQuery hint plugin
Recently I came across an issue in which asp.net MVC3 validations stopped working after I added jQuery hint plug in.
Solution:
1. Add reference to jquery.hint.js in header tag
2. Add jquery.validate.min.js and jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js just before end of the body tag

Asp.net MVC3 validation independent of Model
I was facing an tricky situation where a page will have multiple inputs derived from one model property. E.g. There is a model which has property called "Question" which will be used in a view where there will be multiple instance of this Question property as a input textbox but only first question should be mandatory and rest questions should be optional.
Now when I add RequiredField attribute in model itself and add @HtmlValidationMessageFor in view it shows validation message for all input fields.
SurveyQuestionsModel.cs
Now when I add RequiredField attribute in model itself and add @HtmlValidationMessageFor in view it shows validation message for all input fields.
SurveyQuestionsModel.cs
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.SurveyQuestions[i].Question) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.SurveyQuestions[i].Question)
SurveyQuestion.cshtml
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Required field")]
[Display(Name = "Question")]
public string Question {get;set;}
Finally I got the solution, though I think it's not the correct way. But it solved my issue. Steps I did to fix the issue -
- I observed Html for input fields for which there is an validation error. The input field will have additional attributes such as "data-val-required" and "data-val"
- Then I added these fields to textbox which needs to be validated.
- Then I added Html.Validation() for textbox with validation message.
My final code in SurveyQuestion.cshtml looks like this
@if (i == 0)
{
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.SurveyQuestions[i].Question, new Dictionary { { "data-val-required", "required" }, { "data-val", "true" }, { "title", "Question " + (i + 1) }, {"class","QuestionTextBox"} })
@Html.ValidationMessage("SurveyQuestions[0].Question", "At least one question is required.")
}
else
{
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.SurveyQuestions[i].Question, new { @class = "QuestionTextBox", @title = "Question " + (i + 1) })
}
How to set default browser in VS2010 MVC3 project
I want to change the default browser used by Visual Studio for debugging. Normally the route I'd take to do this is right clicking on an .aspx file and setting the default from the
Browse With... dialog.
Unfortunately, ASP.NET MVC Views don't have the
Browse With... option.
Solution:
- Create "Default.htm" page inside views folder and right click on it, you will be surprised to see option "Browse with"
