    copied!<p>I get validation message always when I open this page (even first time), even if I choose value in one of dropdown lists, message doesn't go away. If I choose values in both I can submit form but messages still doesn't go away.</p> <p><code>Snippet</code> is Linq to sql class and <code>LanguageID</code> and <code>SnippetTypeID</code> are ints, I assume this happens because I pass empty model to View so <code>LanguageID</code> and <code>SnippetTypeID</code> are null and AFAIK Linq to Sql classes have required on non-nullable ints.</p> <p>How can I fix this so validation messages doesn't appear before user tries to submit form, and if one of dropdown lists get selected to remove validation message.</p> <p><strong>View</strong> </p> <pre><code>@model Data.Snippet @using (Html.BeginForm("Save", "Submit", FormMethod.Post)) { &lt;h1 class="subtitle"&gt;Submit new snippet&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;h4&gt;Title&lt;/h4&gt; @Html.TextBoxFor(snippet =&gt; snippet.Title, new { @class = "form-field" }) &lt;h4&gt;Language&lt;/h4&gt; @Html.DropDownListFor(snippet =&gt; snippet.LanguageID, new SelectList(@ViewBag.Input.Languages, "ID", "Name", @Model.LanguageID), "Choose Language", new { @class = "form-select" }) &lt;p&gt;@Html.ValidationMessageFor(snippet =&gt; snippet.LanguageID , "You must choose language", new { @class= "validation-message"})&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h4&gt;Snipet type&lt;/h4&gt; @Html.DropDownListFor(snippet =&gt; snippet.SnippetTypeID, new SelectList(@ViewBag.Input.SnippetTypes, "ID", "Name", @Model.SnippetType), "Choose snippet type", new { @class = "form-select" }) &lt;p&gt;@Html.ValidationMessageFor(snippet =&gt; snippet.SnippetTypeID,"You must choose snippet type", new { @class= "validation-message"})&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h4&gt;Text&lt;/h4&gt; @Html.TextAreaFor(snippet =&gt; snippet.Text, new { cols = "20", rows = "10", @class = "form-field" }) &lt;input type="submit" value="Submit Snippet" /&gt; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Controller</strong></p> <pre><code> //Controllers are not finished Save() should have //code to actually insert to db after I fix validation // GET: /Submit/ // public ActionResult Index() { Snippet model = new Snippet(); SubmitModel input = new SubmitModel(); ViewBag.Input = input; return View(model); } public ActionResult Save(Snippet snippet) { return View(); } </code></pre> <p><strong>Model</strong></p> <p>Model is Linq to Sql class.</p> <pre><code>Snippet ID (int, identifier) Title (string) SnippetType (int, FK on table SnippetTypes) LanguageID (int, FK on table Languages) Text (string) </code></pre>
