In a ValidationSummary, why are the messages shown in a different order than the order you added errors to the ModelState and how might I fix this? asp.net mvc is open source so you can see the code for ValidationSummary directly. http://www.asp.net/mvc/download/ That said, I'm pretty sure ModelState is a dictionary. So if ValidationSummary is iterating over the key/values in the ModelState dictionary looking for errors the order is going to be random. I downloaded the code at work. From ValidationSummary in MVC/Html/ValidationExtensions.cs: foreach (ModelState modelState in htmlHelper

If two of textboxes fail validation at once then the ValidationSummary displays the same message twice. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a setting I can change to hide duplicate messages? I have broken it down to the simplest example: View: @model MyModel @Html.ValidationSummary() @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.A) @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.B) Model: public class MyModel : IValidatableObject { public int A { get; set; } public int B { get; set; } public IEnumerable<ValidationResult> Validate(ValidationContext validationContext) { //Some logic goes here. yield return new

I have a registration form on which I use client side validation (Required, StringLength etc. specified on my view model). The form is currently pretty much how the scaffolder creates it: @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Registration")) { @Html.ValidationSummary(true) <fieldset> <legend>Registration details</legend> @Html.ValidationSummary(false, "Please correct these errors:") @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Username) <div class="editor-label"> @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Username) </div> <div class="editor-field"> @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Username) </div> <p> <input type=

I have three form elements. We'll call them RadioA, RadioB, and Dropdown. In the Model they are created in that order, and presented in the View in that order, and specified as required with a unique error message for each. Then in the view, I use: @Html.ValidationSummary() But the error messages come back: Dropdown is required RadioA is required RadioB is required On this thread , I am learning that we really don't have much control over the order in which these error messages come back. A few people gave suggestions on how to hack this, but I can't get any of them to work. Any ideas? Should

I have run into this problem before but never quite solved it. I have a form with several validators and also a CustomValidator. <asp:Label ID="lblMemberNum" runat="server" Text="Membership #:" CssClass="LabelMedium" ></asp:Label> <asp:TextBox ID="txtMemberNum" runat="server" CssClass="TextBox" ></asp:TextBox> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvMemberNum" SetFocusOnError="True" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtMemberNum" ErrorMessage="[ Membership # ] is required" CssClass="ValidationMessage" Display="Dynamic" >*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator> <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="revMemberNum

I have a simple aspx page with a few TextBoxes and a submit button. Some fields are required and below the button is a ValidationSummary. The complete form is larger than screen height so one has to scroll down to reach the submit button. If I don't fill all required fields and click on submit validation fails as expected and the validation summary displays some info messages below the button. Validation happens on the client and no postback occurs. So this all works as wished. But disturbing is that the page moves ("jumps") to top position when I click on the submit button. To see the
