Spark + MVC2 Validation

[HowardvanRooijen]

Hi,

has anyone managed to get Spark and MVC2 style client / server
validation working? I'd like to migrate from xVal to the new
validation framework - but I keep hitting brick walls.

Many thanks,

Howard

There is no difference. Waht is you issue?

I basically used.

#Html.EnableClientValidation();
#using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", "Admin", FormMethod.Post, new { @class
= "k-form", id = "edit-form" }))
#{
<div id="k-form-desc">
<h2>Edit User</h2>
<p>Please update the user details below.</p>
</div>
${Html.ValidationSummary(true)}
<ul>
<li>
<label class="description" for="FullName">Full Name</label>
<div>
${Html.HiddenFor(m => m.UserId)}
${Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.FullName)}
${Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.FullName, new { @class = "element text
large", maxlength = 50 })}
</div>
</li>

Do you have a compelling reason to migrate from xVal? Other than it being new. Just worked on a new project with MVC 2 validation (and no spark unfortunately), it doesn't offer much over xVal. That said, it's just html extensions and should work in spark without modifications.

@James - thanks for that.

@Ryan - I'm trying to update the WhoCanHelpMe codebase - xVal hasn't seen an update in 6 months - the owner (Steve Sanderson) thinks that MVC2 has caught up and offers a good alternative - and it would be nice to remove another dependency headache of XVal & NHibernate.Validation.

Thanks for the help.

I can also verify that Spark should work with all MVC2 validation
(excect perhaps custom templates for structs - as mentioned in another
thread). I did run into a few problems, but if I recall they were
just syntax and fixed by falling back to using # statements. Also
recall a problem of validation errors firing on initial load, but this
was not Spark specific.

Currently, you have to use the C# syntax for both
Html.EnableClientValidation() and Html.BeginForm() to make it work.
However, I feel that Spark is in need of client validation support. What
would be quite neat is something like:

<form client-validation="true">
</form>

Where the 'client-validation' attribute is parsed by Spark and with it
mimic the following quite horrible C# equivalent:

<% Html.EnableClientValidation() %>
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %>
<% } %>

Having something like this would be awesome. I'd add it myself, if I knew
where and how to do it.
