I’ve updated the sample MVC project I wrote for using ASP.NET MVC 3 and the Razor view engine.
A minor change is that I no longer use the FluentValidationModelValidatorProvider but the standard one. So I decorate the view model with the necessary data annotations :
[Validator(typeof(UserViewModelValidator))]
public class UserViewModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[DisplayName("First name *")]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Last name *")]
public string LastName { get; set; }
public int? Age { get; set; }
}
And the validator becomes :
public class UserViewModelValidator : AbstractValidator<UserViewModel>
{
public UserViewModelValidator()
{
RuleFor(x => x.FirstName)
.NotEmpty()
.WithMessage("First name is required");
RuleFor(x => x.LastName)
.NotEmpty()
.WithMessage("Last name is required");
}
}
And here are the corresponding views using Razor :
Index.cshtml
@model IEnumerable<SampleMvc.Web.Models.UserViewModel>
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
@(Html
.Grid<UserViewModel>(Model)
.Columns(column => {
column.Custom(model => Html.Partial("_TableLinks", model));
column.For(model => model.FirstName);
column.For(model => model.LastName);
column.For(model => model.Age);
})
)
<p>
@(Html.ActionLink<UsersController>(c => c.New(), "Create New"))
</p>
_TableLinks.cshtml
@model SampleMvc.Web.Models.UserViewModel
@(Html.ActionLink<UsersController>(c => c.Edit(Model.Id), "Edit")) |
@(Html.ActionLink<UsersController>(c => c.Show(Model.Id), "Details")) |
@using (Html.BeginForm<UsersController>(c => c.Destroy(Model.Id)))
{
@Html.HttpMethodOverride(HttpVerbs.Delete)
<input type="submit" value="Delete" />
}
Edit.cshtml
@model SampleMvc.Web.Models.UserViewModel
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Edit";
}
<h2>Edit</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm<UsersController>(c => c.Update(null)))
{
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
@Html.HttpMethodOverride(HttpVerbs.Put)
@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Id)
@Html.EditorForModel()
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</p>
}
<div>
@(Html.ActionLink<UsersController>(c => c.Index(), "Back to List"))
</div>
New.cshtml
@model SampleMvc.Web.Models.UserViewModel
@{
ViewBag.Title = "New";
}
<h2>New</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm<UsersController>(c => c.Create(null)))
{
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
@Html.EditorForModel()
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Create" />
</p>
}
<div>
@(Html.ActionLink<UsersController>(c => c.Index(), "Back to List"))
</div>
Show.cshtml
@model SampleMvc.Web.Models.UserViewModel
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Show";
}
<h2>Show</h2>
@Html.DisplayForModel()
<p>
@(Html.ActionLink<UsersController>(c => c.Edit(Model.Id), "Edit")) |
@(Html.ActionLink<UsersController>(c => c.Index(), "Back to List"))
</p>
