I try to modify an editor template to use the data annotations. And I get some weird thing. Here below the editorTemplate.
@model Translations<string>
@{
Translation<string> t = null;
if (Model != null && Model.Values != null)
{
t = Model.Values.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Language == KalowContext.Instance.CurrentLanguage);
}
t = t ?? new Translation<string>();
var validationAttributes = Html.GetUnobtrusiveValidationAttributes("");
}
@Html.TextBox(Html.NameForModel().ToString(), t.Value, new RouteValueDictionary(validationAttributes)
{
{ "class", "form-control" }
}
)
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="@(Html.NameFor(m => Model))" value="@t.Value">
and this is the output, as you can the @Html.TextBox is rendering the name and the id attributes twice. Which works fine in the second input.
<input name="dc.Name.dc.Name" class="form-control" id="dc_Name_dc_Name" type="text" value="Afghanistan" data-val-required="The Name field is required." data-val="true">
<input name="dc.Name" class="form-control" type="text" value="Afghanistan">
Any suggestions ? Thank you !
Here is the class Translations and Translation
public class Translations<T>
{
public List<Translation<T>> Values { get; set; }
public Translations()
{
}
}
public class Translation<T>
{
public ObjectId Language { get; set; }
public T Value { get; set; }
public Translation()
{
}
public Translation(ObjectId language, T value)
{
Language = language;
Value = value;
}
}
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="@(Html.NameFor(m => Model))"
@Html.Raw(string.Join(" ",
validationAttributes.
Select(x => x.Key.ToString() + "=\"" + x.Value + "\"")))
value="@t.Value">
Intermediate solution... but as there is no audience. I keep it that way. :=)
