MaskedTextBoxFor not requiring 0 be filled in

[Chris T.]

We have what SHOULD be a simple SSN entry field:

@Html.Kendo().MaskedTextBoxFor(model => model.SSN).Mask("000-00-0000").UnmaskOnPost(true).HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "form-control", style = "width:125px" })

The problem we're having is that if we leave some digits not filled in (i.e. - "555-33-2"), no error is thrown.  Aren't the 0s supposed to be required digits?

Also, we have a regex attribute on the field in the model, for validations when NOT using the edit form (seeds, etc.).  We're planning to disable it by adding the Html attribute @data_val = "false".  Will that prevent the maskedtextbox from doing its work?

Never mind - we found another unrelated error that was causing problems with the page.  Question withdrawn!

On further review, this is still an issue.  When using the 0 to force a digit, why doesn't Telerik throw a client side error?

Hello Marshall Long,

The MaskedTextBox does not have a build-in validation. Any server/client validation should be done separately, like you are doing with the model data annotation attributes.

If the server/client validation works with a regular Input element, then it will work with the MaskedTextBox.
