Hi, I am surprised with the behaviour of the MVC. I have a model say A

C#

public int requiredField{get;set;}
public int? notRequiredField{get;set;}

MVC validating requiredField field which is good but why validating notRequiredField field which is not either marked as [Required] or any other tag.

The second thing is, I have used int? in the same application on other screens and found no issue with that but on one screen it is making issue.

is it a bug of MVC or my own?

1)Could you brief, what validation is done on notRequiredField? have you mentioned any condition in view?
2) Update your question with what issue you are facing while using int? in your application?

I have mentioned that it is validating int?, I have not validations for it in view or in model or in controller. The message it is adding is "the notRequiredField is required"

Hi Faisalabadians,

Try using Nullable<int> instead of int?
This could solve your one issue I believe.
