I tried the validation example code for web api on the latest mvc 4 download and I'm getting some errors. Does anyone have an updated example of the ValidationActionFilter class.
Here's the original code
public class ValidationActionFilter : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(HttpActionContext context)
{
var modelState = context.ModelState;
if (!modelState.IsValid)
{
dynamic errors = new JsonObject();
foreach (var key in modelState.Keys)
{
var state = modelState[key];
if (state.Errors.Any())
{
errors[key] = state.Errors.First().ErrorMessage;
}
}
context.Response = new HttpResponseMessage<JsonValue>(errors, HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
}
}
I'm getting an error on HttpResponseMessage
The non-generic type 'System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage' cannot be used with type arguments
Also it looks like I need to add a Json reference, but should I be using JSON.net instead? An example of this using Json.net?
