I'm trying to figure out how to show
validation errors after a user submits an Ajax
form that has its UpdateTargetID property set.
I'm stumped on how to update the Ajax
form with the
validation errors without returning the Create PartialView into the results div. If the
form is valid, then it should return the Records PartialView.
Create.ascx
<% Using Ajax.BeginForm("Create",
"Record",
New Record With {.UserID = Model.UserID},
New AjaxOptions With {
.UpdateTargetId = "results",
.LoadingElementId = "loader"
})%>
Date Located
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(Function(model) model.DateLocated)%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.DateLocated) %>
Description
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(Function(model) model.Description)%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.Description) %>
<input id="btnSave" type="submit" value="Create" />
<span id="loader" class="loader">Saving...</span>
<%End Using%>
Records.ascx
<div id="results">
...
</div>
RecordController.vb
Function Create(ByVal newRecord As Record) As ActionResult
ValidateRecord(newRecord)
If Not ModelState.IsValid Then
Return PartialView("Create", newRecord)
End If
_repository.Add(newRecord)
_repository.Save()
Dim user = _repository.GetUser(newRecord.UserID)
Return PartialView("Records", user)
End Function
