Хорошо, поэтому я нашел ответ в ответе на немного другой вопрос. Итак, я публикую свой полный код здесь, который распространяется на сообщение Scott Guthries ASP.NET MVC 2 Validation: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/01/15/asp-net-mvc-2-model-validation.aspx
Моя ViewModel:
public class Person
{
[Required(ErrorMessage="First Name Required")]
[StringLength(50,ErrorMessage="Must be under 50 characters")]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage="Last Name Required")]
[StringLength(50, ErrorMessage = "Must be under 50 characters")]
public string LastName { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage="Age Required")]
[Range(1,120,ErrorMessage="Age Must be between 0 and 120")]
public int Age { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage="Email Required")]
public string Email { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> FavoriteColor { get; set; }
[Range(0, 6, ErrorMessage = "Out of range")]
public int SelectedFavColor { get; set; }
}
Мой Цветовой класс:
public class Colors
{
public int ColorID { get; set; }
public string ColorName { get; set; }
}
Мой список вспомогательных расширений, украденных у Роба Коннери, который украл его у кого-то еще:
public static class ListExtensions
{
public static IEnumerable<T> ForEach<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection, Action<T> action)
{
foreach (var item in collection) action(item);
return collection;
}
public static SelectList ToSelectList<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection)
{
return new SelectList(collection, "Key", "Value");
}
public static SelectList ToSelectList<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection, string selectedValue)
{
return new SelectList(collection, "Key", "Value", selectedValue);
}
public static SelectList ToSelectList<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection,
string dataValueField, string dataTextField)
{
return new SelectList(collection, dataValueField, dataTextField);
}
public static SelectList ToSelectList<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection,
string dataValueField, string dataTextField, string selectedValue)
{
return new SelectList(collection, dataValueField, dataTextField, selectedValue);
}
}
Код моего контроллера (да, он может быть переработан, чтобы быть более СУХИМЫМ):
public ActionResult Create()
{
Person newFriend = new Person();
IList<Colors> colorslist = new List<Colors>();
colorslist.Add(new Colors { ColorID = -1, ColorName = "Please Select Color" });
colorslist.Add(new Colors { ColorID = 1, ColorName = "Red" });
colorslist.Add(new Colors { ColorID = 2, ColorName = "Green" });
colorslist.Add(new Colors { ColorID = 3, ColorName = "Blue" });
newFriend.FavoriteColor = colorslist.ToSelectList("ColorID","ColorName","-1");
return View(newFriend);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(Person friendToCreate, FormCollection collection)
{
friendToCreate.SelectedFavColor = Convert.ToInt32(collection["SelectedFavColor"]);
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
return Redirect("/");
}
IList<Colors> colorslist = new List<Colors>();
colorslist.Add(new Colors { ColorID = -1, ColorName = "Please Select Color" });
colorslist.Add(new Colors { ColorID = 1, ColorName = "Red" });
colorslist.Add(new Colors { ColorID = 2, ColorName = "Green" });
colorslist.Add(new Colors { ColorID = 3, ColorName = "Blue" });
friendToCreate.FavoriteColor = colorslist.ToSelectList("ColorID", "ColorName");
return View(friendToCreate);
}
