Custom ValidationSummary template Asp.net MVC 3

Question

I am working on a project with Asp.Net MVC3

In a View I have @Html.ValidationSummary(true) and as usually it produces

Answer 1

My approach is to use a custom ValidationSummary.cshtml:

@model ModelStateDictionary

@if(!Model.IsValid)
{
    

        

            @foreach (var modelError in 
                     Model.SelectMany(keyValuePair => keyValuePair.Value.Errors))
            {
                
@modelError.ErrorMessage
            }
        
    
}

Put this partial view in your Shared folder and refer to it from your code:

@Html.Partial("_ValidationSummary", ViewData.ModelState);

This way you remain in full control of your html.
