[Forums.ASP.NET] MVC Validation

europhreakNET — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:34:06 GMT

I'm working from Steven Sandersons book and in the example for validation I have the following:

Model:

namespace Model
{
    public class Appointment
    {
        public string ClientName { get; set; }
        public DateTime AppointmentDate { get; set; }

        public void Save()
        {
            var errors = GetRuleViolations();
            if (errors.Count > 0)
                throw new RuleException(errors);

            //check DB errors
            try
            {
                // Todo: Actually save to the database
            }
            catch (SqlException ex)
            {
                if (ex.Message.Contains("IX_DATE_UNIQUE")) // Name of my DB constraint
                    throw new RuleException("AppointmentDate", "Sorry, already booked");
                throw; // Rethrow any other exceptions to avoid interfering with them
            }
        }

        private NameValueCollection GetRuleViolations()
        {
            var errors = new NameValueCollection();
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(ClientName))
                errors.Add("ClientName", "Please enter your name");

            if (AppointmentDate == DateTime.MinValue)
                errors.Add("AppointmentDate", "AppointmentDate is required");
            else
            {
                if (AppointmentDate < DateTime.Now.Date)
                    errors.Add("AppointmentDate", "The date has passed");
                else if ((AppointmentDate - DateTime.Now).TotalDays > 7)
                    errors.Add("AppointmentDate", "You can't book more than a week in advance");
            }

            return errors;
        }
    }
}

Controller:

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
        public ActionResult Index(Appointment appt, bool acceptsTerms)
        {
            //add optional error checking here
            if (!acceptsTerms)
                ModelState.AddModelError("acceptsTerms", "You must accept the terms");

            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                try
                {
                    //save
                    //appt.Save();
                    Response.Write("Saved");
                }
                catch (RuleException ex)
                {
                    ex.CopyToModelState(ModelState, "appt");
                }
            }
            return ModelState.IsValid ? View("Completed", appt) : View();
        }

RuleException.cs class:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace Model
{
    public class RuleException : Exception
    {
        public NameValueCollection Errors { get; private set; }
        public RuleException(string key, string value)
        {
            Errors = new NameValueCollection { { key, value } };
        }

        //constructor
        public RuleException(NameValueCollection errors) {
            Errors = errors;
        }

        // Populates a ModelStateDictionary for generating UI feedback
        public void CopyToModelState(ModelStateDictionary modelState, string prefix)
        {
            foreach (string key in Errors)
                foreach (string value in Errors.GetValues(key))
                    modelState.AddModelError(prefix + "." + key, value);
        }
    }
}

View:

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
    Index
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
    <%= Html.ValidationSummary("Please fill out the following fields:") %>

    <h1>
        Book an appointment</h1>
    <% using (Html.BeginForm())
       { %>
    <p>
        Your name:
        <%= Html.TextBox("appt.ClientName") %>
    </p>
    <p>
        Appointment date:
        <%=Html.TextBox("appt.AppointmentDate", DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()) %>
    </p>
    <p>
        <%= Html.CheckBox("acceptsTerms") %>
        <label for="acceptsTerms">
            I accept the Terms of Booking</label>
    </p>
    <input type="submit" value="Place booking" />
    <% } %>
</asp:Content>
