ModelState.IsValid is always returning false
asp.net-mvc, asp.net-mvc-3, modelstate
Solution
`ModelState.IsValid` will be false if the validation for the Model failed.
- You have DataAnnotation which failed the incoming model.
- You added custom validations.
- Make sure there are no null entries in the model for non null properties
Check the `ModelState.Errors` for what is the reason causing this. You can use this:
var errors = ModelState.Values.SelectMany(v => v.Errors);
Problem
``` [HttpPost] public ActionResult Create(Users user) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { db.Users.Add(user); db.SaveChanges(); return RedirectToAction("Index"); } return View(user); } ``` `ModelState.IsValid` is always false. so it just return view and new record is not getting added.. Edit User: ``` public class User { public int UserID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Confirm Password")] [DataType(DataType.Password)] public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; } public string Designation { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Date of Join")] [DataType(DataType.Date)] public DateTime DOJ { get; set; } public string Email { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Phone Number")] public System.Int64 PhoneNo { get; set; } } ```
