required attribute not working in asp.net mvc

Question

I have a simple strongly-typed view.

@model GoldForGold.Models.LogonModel
@{
    ViewBag.Title = \"Logins\";
    Layout = \"~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml\";         


        

Answer 1

Here is the complete solution:

1. Add the following scripts to your view:

2. Enable Validation in Web.Config:

3. Add validation element in the view:

   @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.UserName)
   

4. Add Required attribute to you model`s element.

   [Required(ErrorMessage="please enter username")]
   public string UserName { get; set; }
