Controller.TryValidateModel Method (Object, String)

Validates the specified model instance using an HTML prefix.

Namespace:  System.Web.Mvc
Assembly:  System.Web.Mvc (in System.Web.Mvc.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Friend Function TryValidateModel ( _
    model As Object, _
    prefix As String _
) As Boolean
protected internal bool TryValidateModel(
    Object model,
    string prefix
)
protected public:
bool TryValidateModel(
    Object^ model, 
    String^ prefix
)

Parameters

  • prefix
    Type: System.String
    The prefix to use when looking up values in the model provider.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the model validation is successful; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When a model is being validated, all validators for all properties are run if at least one form input is bound to a model property.

The TryValidateModel is like the ValidateModel method except that the TryValidateModel method does not throw an InvalidOperationException exception if the model validation fails.

For more information model validation, see the entry Input Validation vs. Model Validation in ASP.NET MVC on Brad Wilson's blog.
