How to change 'data-val-number' message validation in MVC while it is generated by @Html helper

Question

Assume this model:

Public Class Detail
    ...
    
    
         


        

Answer 1

As an alternate way around this, I applied a RegularExpression attribute to catch the invalid entry and set my message there:

[RegularExpression(@"[0-9]*$", ErrorMessage = "Please enter a valid number ")]

This slightly a hack but this seemed preferable to the complexity the other solutions presented, at least in my particular situation.

EDIT: This worked well in MVC3 but it seems that there may well be better solutions for MVC4+.
