MVC3 DataAnnotations ServerSide Validation

Question

So im new to MVC3 and expirimenting with DataAnnotations for the validation. All is working fine clientside, but how do I get the serverside version working? If I disable Javascript then there are no validations to be seen. My Model looks like this ``` [Required(ErrorMessageResourceName = "Verplicht", ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof (ValidatieStrings))] [Display(Name="Voorletters", ResourceType = typeof (VeldNaamStrings))] public string Voorletters { get; set; } ``` My Controller looks like this ``` using System.Web.Mvc; using inschrijven_werknemer.Models; namespace inschrijven_werknemer.Controllers { public class HomeController : LocalizationController { public ActionResult Index() { return View(new MedewerkInfoModel()); } } } ``` And my View looks like this ``` @model inschrijven_werknemer.Models.MedewerkInfoModel

@Html.EditorForModel("MedewerkInfoModel")

``` What am I doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

you can do something like this... using `Model.IsValid` property.

So you could try this:

```
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index()
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        return View(new MedewerkInfoModel());
    }
    return View();
}
```
