asp net mvc partial view validation

Question

Hi how are you? I'm trying to validate a form in ASP NET MVC.

I have a partial view "Address" that I reuse for some entities, like Company, Person, etc.

My problem is that when I submit the form, only the controls of the father view gets validated, the ones in the partial view don't.

Here's some code I hope u can geive me hand

PERSON VIEW

@model Entities.Person


@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Person", FormMethod.Post))
{

    <table>
        <tr>
            <td>
                @Html.LabelFor(model => model.FirstName)
                <div class="control">
                    @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.FirstName, new { @maxlength = 7, @class = "numeric"})
                    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.FirstName)
                </div>
                <div class="spacer-short"></div>
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.LabelFor(model => model.LastName)
                <div class="control">
                    @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.LastName, new { @maxlength = 7, @class = "numeric"})
                    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.LastName)
                </div>
                <div class="spacer-short"></div>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    @{ Html.RenderAction("Index", "Address", new {id = Model.AddressId});} //Renders the Address form part

    <div class="spacer"></div>
    <button type="submit" data-button="true" data-button-icon="ui-icon-disk" class="">Create</button>
    <button type="button" data-button="true" data-button-icon="ui-icon-circle-close" class="button-cancel">Cancel</button>
}

ADDRESS VIEW

@model Entities.Address


<table>
     <tr>
         <td>
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Street)
            <div class="control">
                @Html.TextBox("Address.Street", Model.Street)
                @Html.ValidationMessage("Address.Street")
             </div>
           <div class="spacer-short"></div>
           </td>
           <td>
              @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Number)
              <div class="control">
                @Html.TextBox("Address.Number", Model.Number)
                @Html.ValidationMessage("Address.Number")
             </div>
           <div class="spacer-short"></div>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>

Then I have some validation metadata ([Required]) for person and address fields

Answer 1

Try this:

@Html.EditorFor(Model.Street)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(Model.Street)

instead of this:

@Html.TextBox("Address.Street", Model.Street)
@Html.ValidationMessage("Address.Street")
