ASPNET MVC - Why is ModelState.IsValid false "The x field is required" when that field does have a v
- by JK
I have a model like this:
public PurchaseOrder
{
[Required] [StringLength(15)]
public virtual string OrderNumber {get;set;}
// etc.
}
When I submit an order from the view (using $.post, not input type=submit) it goes to my controller class:
public class PurchaseOrderController
{
public JsonResult Save(PurchaseOrder order)
{
// TryUpdateModel(order); // commented out since modelstate.isvalid remains false anyway
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
// its never valid
}
}
}
ModelState.IsValid always returns false, with the error: "The Order Number field is required." But there is a value in this field (?? why)
Why would it say "value is required" when it does have a value? Have I missed something? Is it because of the $.post instead of the submit? What can I do?
This is what the debugger looks like:
