How do I get the collection of Model State Errors in ASP.NET MVC?
How do I get the collection of errors in a view?
I don't want to use the Html Helper Validation Summary or Validation Message. Instead I want to check for errors and if any display them in specific format. Also on the input controls I want to check for a specific property error and add a class to the input.
P.S. I'm using the Spark View Engine but the idea should be the same.
So I figured I could do something like...
<if condition="${ModelState.Errors.Count > 0}">
DisplayErrorSummary()
</if>
....and also...
<input type="text" value="${Model.Name}"
class="?{ModelState.Errors["Name"] != string.empty} error" />
....
Or something like that.
UPDATE
My final solution looked like this:
<input type="text" value="${ViewData.Model.Name}"
class="text error?{!ViewData.ModelState.IsValid &&
ViewData.ModelState["Name"].Errors.Count() > 0}"
id="Name" name="Name" />
This only adds the error css class if this property has an error.
Solution 1:
<% ViewData.ModelState.IsValid %>
or
<% ViewData.ModelState.Values.Any(x => x.Errors.Count >= 1) %>
and for a specific property...
<% ViewData.ModelState["Property"].Errors %> // Note this returns a collection
Solution 2:
To just get the errors from the ModelState, use this Linq:
var modelStateErrors = this.ModelState.Keys.SelectMany(key => this.ModelState[key].Errors);
