Client Side validation in Telerik's MVC Grid

Question

Is it possible to add client side validation to the fields of the Telerik MVC Grid at runtime. I am having validation JSON strings stored in the DB which I need to use when inserting or updating content

Answer 1

Thanks for the clarification in the comments.

By default validation rules are set using data annotation attributes. However I think you can implement custom metadata provider for ASP.NET MVC that applies validation rules at runtime. Perhaps this and this blog posts will be of help.

A more hacky solution would be to generate the JSON for the rules and override the ones output by ASP.NET MVC. Check the output of a page with client-side validation enabled and look for mvcClientValidationMetadata .

I hope this helps
