How to include a link in AddModelError message?

Question

I want to add a ModelState error, like so:

ModelState.AddModelError("", "Some message, <a href="/controller/action">click here</a>)

However, the link doesn't get encoded, and so is displayed like text. I tried using

<%= Html.ValidationSummary(true, "Some message")

instead of

<%: Html.ValidationSummary(true, "Some message")

But no luck.

Anyone have any idea how to get this working?

Cheers

Answer 1

<div class="validation-summary-errors">
    <ul>
    <% foreach(var error in ViewData.ModelState.Where(s => s.Value.Errors.Count!=0).SelectMany(s => s.Value.Errors)) { %>
        <li><%= error.ErrorMessage %></li>
    <% } %>
    </ul>
</div>

or in razor:

<div class="validation-summary-errors">
    <ul>
    @foreach(var error in ViewData.ModelState.Where(s => s.Value.Errors.Count!=0).SelectMany(s => s.Value.Errors)) {
        <li>@Html.Raw(error.ErrorMessage)</li>
    }
    </ul>
</div>
