ASP.NET MVC How to convert ModelState errors to json

Question

How do you get a list of all ModelState error messages? I found this code to get all the keys: ( Returning a list of keys with ModelState errors)

var errorK         


        

Answer 1

Why not return the original ModelState object to the client, and then use jQuery to read the values. To me it looks much simpler, and uses the common data structure (.net's ModelState)

to return the ModelState as Json, simply pass it to Json class constructor (works with ANY object)

C#:

return Json(ModelState);

js:

        var message = "";
        if (e.response.length > 0) {
            $.each(e.response, function(i, fieldItem) {
                $.each(fieldItem.Value.Errors, function(j, errItem) {
                    message += errItem.ErrorMessage;
                });
                message += "\n";
            });
            alert(message);
        }
