Asp MVC partial does not validated

Question

Scenario :

Viewmodel dienstViewModel contains a AdresViewModel

   Public Class AdresViewModel
        <Required(ErrorMessage:="Gelieve een straatnaam op te geven")>
    <DisplayName("Straat:")>
    Property Straat As String

<Required(ErrorMessage:="Gelieve een huisnummer op te geven")>
<DisplayName("Huisnummer:")>
Property HuisNummer As String

<Required(ErrorMessage:="Gelieve een gemeente op te geven")>
<DisplayName("Gemeente:")>
<RegularExpression("\b[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+,\s[0-9]{4}", ErrorMessage:="Selecteer de correcte gemeente")>
Property Gemeente As String

    <DisplayName("Bus")>
    Property Bus As Integer

End Class

The view that contains the partial:

<% Using Html.BeginForm()%>
        <%: Html.ValidationSummary(True) %>
        <fieldset>
        <legend>Vervolledig het onderstaand formulier:</legend>

        <div class="editor-label">
            <%: Html.LabelFor(Function(model) model.DienstNaam) %>
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            <%: Html.TextBoxFor(Function(model) model.DienstNaam) %>
            <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.DienstNaam) %>
        </div>

        <div class="editor-label">
            <%: Html.LabelFor(Function(model) model.DienstOmschrijving) %>
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            <%: Html.TextBoxFor(Function(model) model.DienstOmschrijving) %>
            <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.DienstOmschrijving) %>
        </div>


    </fieldset>
<fieldset>
        <legend>Adres gegevens</legend>
        <% Html.RenderPartial("Adres", New ViewDataDictionary(Model.DienstAdres))%>
        </fieldset><p>
        <input type="submit" value="Create" />
    </p>

<% End Using %>

When i press the commit button on the end only the first 2 textboxes get validated. How do i make sure that the partial view also gets validated for correct input?

Or are partials only used to show information and not to retrieve information?

Partial view

<%@ Control Language="VB" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl(Of Anip.WebGUI.ViewModels.AdresViewModel)" %>

<%-- The following line works around an ASP.NET compiler warning --%>
    <%: ""%>



            <div class="editor-label">
                <%: Html.LabelFor(Function(model) model.Straat)%>
            </div>
            <div class="editor-field">
                <%: Html.TextBoxFor(Function(model) model.Straat)%>
                <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.Straat)%>
            </div>

            <div class="editor-label">
                <%: Html.LabelFor(Function(model) model.HuisNummer)%>
            </div>
            <div class="editor-field">
                <%: Html.TextBoxFor(Function(model) model.HuisNummer)%>
                <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.HuisNummer)%>
            </div>

            <div class="editor-label">
                <%: Html.LabelFor(Function(model) model.Bus)%>
            </div>
            <div class="editor-field">
                <%: Html.TextBoxFor(Function(model) model.Bus)%>
                <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.Bus)%>
            </div>

            <div class="editor-label">
                <%: Html.LabelFor(Function(model) model.Gemeente)%>
            </div>
            <div class="editor-field">
                <%: Html.TextBoxFor(Function(model) model.Gemeente)%>
                <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.Gemeente)%>
            </div>

Controller Methods that calls the views

 '
        ' GET: /Dienst/Create

        Function Create() As ActionResult
            Return View(New DienstViewModel())
        End Function

        '
        ' POST: /Dienst/Create

        <HttpPost()> _
        Function Create(ByVal viewModel As DienstViewModel) As ActionResult
            If ModelState.IsValid Then
                Try
                    ' TODO: Add insert logic here
                    Return RedirectToAction("Index")
                Catch
                    Return View(viewModel)
                End Try
            Else
                Return View(viewModel)
            End If

it should do be validating it. Have you tried simply passing Model.DeisntAdres rather than converting it in viewdatadictionary ? — neebz, Apr 04 '11 at 12:32
yes, i tried that but that created a new problem : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/650393/asp-net-mvc-renderpartial-with-null-model-gets-passed-the-wrong-type — David, Apr 04 '11 at 12:37

probably you are not parsing your POST result into an object of the AdresViewModel, when the POST action is called.

can you copy the code of your action?

for example: (C#)

public ActionResult Edit(AdresViewModel mod) {

}

Edit:

you did:

<% Html.RenderPartial("Adres", New ViewDataDictionary(Model.DienstAdres))%>

but it should be:

<% Html.RenderPartial("Adres", Model.DienstAdres, new ViewDataDictionary()); %>

Added my DienstViewModel who contains the AdresViewModel – David Apr 04 '11 at 14:23
so you should add both dienstviewmodel and adresviewmodel in your POST method! – Stefanvds Apr 04 '11 at 15:22
This works! but still im not getting validation messages on my partial view. any ideas? – David Apr 05 '11 at 08:03
does the `DisplayName` work? and what's with the `New ViewDataDictionary(Model.DienstAdres)` ? why is it in a ViewDataDictionary? is this required in vb.net? – Stefanvds Apr 05 '11 at 09:24
The labels are created , the textboxes are created but not the validation messages. the new viewdatadictionary is to fix this problem. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/650393/asp-net-mvc-renderpartial-with-null-model-gets-passed-the-wrong-type – David Apr 05 '11 at 12:15
Gues im trying to do something that shouldn't be done , thanks for pointing it out – David Apr 07 '11 at 13:36
