ASP.NET MVC Tip #4: Client-side form validation made easy - Part 2 (devermind.com)

submitted by pluggy(284) 2 years, 4 months ago

Client-side form validation has become a de-facto standard for modern web applications.

This article describes how to implement this so that you don't have to write any custom javascript for new validation rules. This even includes remote validation rules and these validation rules that depend on multiple form fields. read more...

How to cover ALL your client-side form validation needs without writin(devermind.com)

submitted by pluggy(284) 2 years, 11 months ago

Client-side form validation has become a de-facto standard for modern web applications. However, there are some validation rules which cannot be checked completely on the client side, for example because the validation depends on information stored in the server database. For those rules you need to implement remote client-side form validation. The xVal framework is great for automatic generation of client-side validation code for some of your server-side validation rules, but it does not support remote client-side validation. This article shows a fully generic way to implement remote client-side form validation so that • Validation rules remain solely in your ASP.NET MVC model • You write each validation rule just once, and only in easily testable C# code. There is no JavaScript or other client-side counterpart . • There is no need to branch or otherwise modify xVal or jquery.validate • All you have to do for each new remote form validation rule is to derive from the base class shown in this article. I'll describe how to implement this in detail. I've also uploaded a demo project showing how this works in action. read more...

ASP.NET MVC: Using Custom ViewModels with POST action methods(devermind.com)

submitted by pluggy(284) 3 years, 1 month ago

One of the top good practices for ASP.NET MVC is not to use the ViewData Dictionary, but to put your data in a strongly typed ViewModel instead. Many people seem to be using Linq to SQL entities as a ViewModel, because it’s a very comfortable approach. But what do you do if your view should contain data that is not included in any of your linq entities? This posting describes how to use custom shaped ViewModel classes for these cases. read more...
