Is there are a way to utilize Html.ValidationMessageFor() to return the validation text without the HTML markup around it?
Currently this code:
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.SomeProperty)
Returns this:
<span class="field-validation-error" data-valmsg-for="Model.SomeProperty" data-valmsg-replace="true">This field is required.</span>
And I would much prefer this:
This field is required.
m0s's comment pointed me to this StackOverflow question/answer. (How do I get the collection of Model State Errors in ASP.NET MVC?)
This is probably redundant but here is my working solution:
@if (ViewData.ModelState.ContainsKey("SomeProperty))
{
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.SomeProperty),
new {
@some_attribute = ViewData.ModelState["SomeProperty"].Errors[0].ErrorMessage })
}
Obviously, you want to ensure your ModelState has errors before addressing the first one, in my case this will always be true.
Try: htmlHelper.ValidationMessage(string ModelName). I think that returns the string without the markup.
