Validation in MVC4 Razor with the Data Annotation Validators in “MODEL”

Data Annotation

Data validation play major role when developing web application. In Asp.net MVC, we can easily implement validation to application by using Data Annotation attribute to model. Data Annotation attribute classes are present in System.ComponentModel. DataAnnotations namespace. It is a common validation attributes which extend the built-in ASP.NET DataAnnotations (Required, Range, RegularExpression, StringLength etc.,). ASP.NET MVC uses jquery unobtrusive validation to perform client side validation.

MODEL

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
namespace validation.Models
{
public class ValidationModel
{
[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent="yes" overflow="visible"][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type="1_1" background_position="left top" background_color="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" spacing="yes" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" padding="" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" class="" id="" animation_type="" animation_speed="0.3" animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="no" center_content="no" min_height="none"][Required]
[Display(Name = "User name")]
[StringLength(20,ErrorMessage = "Name not be exceed 20 char")]
public string Name { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Email_id must not be empty")]
[RegularExpression(".+\@.+\..+", ErrorMessage = "Please Enter valid mail id")]
public string Email { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter  phone number")]
[RegularExpression(@"^(?([0-9]{3}))?[-. ]?([0-9]{3})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})$", ErrorMessage = "Enter valid number")]
public string Phone { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter your address")]
public string Address { get; set; }
[Range(0,120,ErrorMessage = "Please enter between 0 to 120")]
public string Age { get; set; }
}
}

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace validation.Models

{

public class ValidationModel

{

[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent="yes" overflow="visible"][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type="1_1" background_position="left top" background_color="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" spacing="yes" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" padding="" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" class="" id="" animation_type="" animation_speed="0.3" animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="no" center_content="no" min_height="none"][Required]

[Display(Name = "User name")]

[StringLength(20,ErrorMessage = "Name not be exceed 20 char")]

public string Name { get; set; }

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Email_id must not be empty")]

[RegularExpression(".+\@.+\..+", ErrorMessage = "Please Enter valid mail id")]

public string Email { get; set; }

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter phone number")]

[RegularExpression(@"^(?([0-9]{3}))?[-. ]?([0-9]{3})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})$", ErrorMessage = "Enter valid number")]

public string Phone { get; set; }

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter your address")]

public string Address { get; set; }

[Range(0,120,ErrorMessage = "Please enter between 0 to 120")]

public string Age { get; set; }

}

View

@model validation.Models.ValidationModel
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
@section Scripts {
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.ValidationSummary(false)
<table>
<tr> <td>
Your Name: @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)
</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>
Your Age: @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Age)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Age)
</td></tr>
<tr> <td>
Your Email: @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Email)
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
Your Phone: @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Phone)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Phone)
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
Your Address: @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Address)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Address)
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<input type="submit" value="Register Me" />
</td></tr>
</table>
}

@model validation.Models.ValidationModel

ViewBag.Title = "Index";

}

<h2>Index</h2>

@section Scripts {

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")

}

@using (Html.BeginForm())

{

@Html.ValidationSummary(false)

<table>

Your Name: @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name)

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)

</td> </tr>

Your Age: @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Age)

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Age)

</td></tr>

Your Email: @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email)
