[Solved] Unobtrusive validation won't work with Editor

[Robin]

Hi,

I have a problem with unobtrusive validation and Telerik Editor. Regular textbox will validate without any problems but the editor won't validate until I post the entire form back to the server.

I've created an demo app to demonstrate my problem, see attachment.

Hello Robin,

 
The attached project uses Q1 2011 version of the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC. In it the unobtrusive validation for the editor extension was not supported. Please use the Q2 2011 release of Telerik extensions for ASP.NET MVC.

All the best,
Georgi Krustev

I have the 2011.3.1115 version and it still not working for me.

Hello,

This is not a known issue and in order to proceed with the investigation I will need a test project, which replicates the problem.

I don't have time to setup a test project, I've just worked around the issue for now.

I've triple checked that everything is correct as per the demo on your site and it's still not working.

I'm using the Q1 2012 version of the MVC controls, and I have the same problem as well.  Is there something that needs to be done specifically to enable unobtrusive validation?  Here's a code snippet for the editor (the Html.EditorFor() works fine with the unobtrusive validation):

Update: Using EditorFor() with a strongly typed model, the DetailMessage in my example is null when I post back.  I'm not sure why, it's hard to tell if I'm doing anything wrong since nearly all of the examples have the value set in them already and are not binding to anything.

<div class="editor-label">

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.DetailMessage)

</div>

<div class="editor-field"> 

@*@Html.EditorFor(model => model.DetailMessage)*@

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DetailMessage)

 

<br />

 

@{ Html.Telerik().EditorFor(model => model.DetailMessage)

.Name("DetailMessageEditor")

         .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height: 200px" })

         .Encode(false)

         .Render();
}

</div>
