Validation not working on Upload Kendo control

[swarnamala]

Here is a screen shot of my all. Validation are not working on Kendo Upload control used.



View has code:


 <div class="col-md-4">
                    @Html.Label("file", "Select File")
                    @(Html.Kendo().Upload()
                          .Name("upload")
                          .Multiple(false)
                          .Messages(msgs => msgs.Select("Browse"))
                          )
                   @Html.ValidationHtmlMessageFor(model => model.UploadFileName)
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-4 buttonBox">
                    @Html.Kendo().Button().Name("Save").Content("Upload File").HtmlAttributes(new {type = "submit"}) 

Code in View Model:

    [Required(ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources),
                  ErrorMessageResourceName = "FieldRequired")]
        [Display(Name = "Month")]
        public int ObjectiveMonth { get; set; }

Controller checks for ModelState.isValid

But the validation message do not show up

What could the reason be?

Hello Swarnamala,


The unobtrusive validation is not supported out of the box by the Kendo UI Upload widget. Nevertheless you could use the Kendo UI Validator and define a custom validation rule as demonstrated in the following topic.
