This is the model with it's validation:
[MetadataType(typeof(TagValidation))]
public partial class Tag
{
}
public class TagValidation
{
[Editable(false)]
[HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
public int TagId { get; set; }
[Required]
[StringLength(20)]
[DataType(DataType.Text)]
public string Name { get; set; }
//...
}
Here is the view:
<h2>Create</h2>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<fieldset>
<legend>Tag</legend>
<div>@Html.EditorForModel()</div>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Create" />
</p>
</fieldset>
}
<div>
@Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>
And here is what get's renderd:
<form action="/Tag/Create" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>Tag</legend>
<div><input data-val="true" data-val-number="The field TagId must be a number." data-val-required="The TagId field is required." id="TagId" name="TagId" type="hidden" value="" />
<div class="editor-label"><label for="Name">Name</label></div>
<div class="editor-field"><input class="text-box single-line" data-val="true" data-val-length="The field Name must be a string with a maximum length of 20." data-val-length-max="20" data-val-required="The Name field is required." id="Name" name="Name" type="text" value="" /> <span class="field-validation-valid" data-valmsg-for="Name" data-valmsg-replace="true"></span></div>
...
</fieldset>
</form>
The problem is that TagId validation gets generated althoug thare is no Required attribute set on TagId property. Because of that I can't even pass the client-side validation in order to create new Tag in db. What am I missing?
