In my index.cshtml I want to display the WizardStepAttribute Value So, a user will see at the top of each page, Step 1: Enter User Information I have a ViewModel called WizardViewModel . This ViewModel has a property that is IList<IStepViewModel> Steps each "step" implements the Interface IStepViewModel, which is an empty interface. I have a view called Index.cshtml.

I'm curious to find out if it is possible to override the [Required] attribute that has been set on a model. I'm sure there most be a simple solution to this problem, any takers? Depends on what precisely you are doing. If you are working with a subclass, using the model with the Required attribute as the base, you can do this: Redefine the property with the new keyword, rather than override it. public class BaseModel { [Required] public string RequiredProperty { get; set; } } public class DerivativeModel : BaseModel { new public string RequiredProperty { get; set; } } If you simply want to

After upgrading to MVC 3 RTM I get an exception where it previously worked. Here is the scenario. I have several objects that use the same underlying interfaces IActivity and IOwned. IActivity implements IOwned (another interface) public interface IActivity:IOwned {...} public interface IOwned { int?

I use AutoMapper to map my domain objects to my view models. I have metadata in my domain layer, that I would like to carry over to the view layer and into ModelMetadata. (This metadata is not UI logic, but provides necessary information to my views). Right now, my solution is to use a separate MetadataProvider (independently of ASP.NET MVC), and use conventions to apply the relevant metadata to the ModelMetadata object via an AssociatedMetadataProvider. The problem with this approach is that I have to test for the same conventions when binding the ModelMetadata from the domain as I do with my
