Hi.,

I am new to Entity Framework, I have created a EDM using Model first appraoch and applied validations using datannotations, everything is working fine but all the validations are displayed at one place but i would like to show validation error messages beside the respective field.

The code i written is as below

public partial class Hardware_services_repairs
{
public class hardwaremetadata
{
[Required]
[RegularExpression(@"^[a-zA-Z]+$", ErrorMessage="Numbers and Special characters are not allowed")]
public string CompanyName { get; set; }
[Required]
[RegularExpression(@"^[a-zA-Z]+$", ErrorMessage="Numbers and Special characters are not allowed")]
public string ContactName { get; set; }
//[Required]
[RegularExpression(@"^[0-9+-]+$",ErrorMessage="Only numbers are allowed")]
public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }
//[Required]
[RegularExpression(@"^[0-9+-]+$", ErrorMessage = "Only numbers are allowed")]
public string MobileNumber { get; set; }
//[Required]
[RegularExpression(@"^[A-Za-z0-9#: ]+$", ErrorMessage = "Special Characters are not allowed")]
public string Address { get; set; }
}
}

The output is as shown below

List of validation errors
Numbers and Special characters are not allowed
Numbers and Special characters are not allowed
Only numbers are allowed
Only numbers are allowed
Special Characters are not allowed

But i want every error message separtely beside the respective field, kindly let me the solution

Thanks in advance

Can you show me your view code....

It should be like this view code

@using (@Html.BeginForm("ImportContacts", "Outlook", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "Importform" }))
{
@Html.ValidationSummary(true, "Please fill the form correctly and try again.");

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.FirstName)*

@Html.TextBoxFor(mode => Model.FirstName)

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => Model.FirstName)

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.LastName)*

@Html.TextBoxFor(mode => Model.LastName)

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => Model.LastName)

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

@Html.TextBoxFor(mode => Model.Title)

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.BusinessTelephoneNumber)*

@Html.TextBoxFor(mode => Model.BusinessTelephoneNumber)

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => Model.BusinessTelephoneNumber)

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

@Html.TextBoxFor(mode => Model.MobileTelephoneNumber)

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

@Html.TextBoxFor(mode => Model.BusinessFaxNumber)

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Email1Address)*

@Html.TextBoxFor(mode => Model.Email1Address)

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => Model.Email1Address)

C#

public class OutlookContact
   {
       [Display(Name="Title")]
       public string Title { get; set; }
       [Required(ErrorMessage="Please enter first name.")]
       [Display(Name="First Name")]
       public string FirstName { get; set; }
       [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter last name.")]
       [Display(Name = "Last Name")]
       public string LastName { get; set; }
       [Required(ErrorMessage="Please enter email address.")]
       [Display(Name="Email")]
       [RegularExpression(@"^[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4})$", ErrorMessage = "Invalid email address")]
       [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress, ErrorMessage = "Invalid email address")]
       public string Email1Address { get; set; }
       public string BusinessAddressStreet { get; set; }
       public string BusinessAddress { get; set; }
