HI all,

I am having some serious issues with Surface Controllers and getting my model to validate despite all of the information being in the structure I am expecting it to be.

Here is the code for my model:

public class EnquiryModel
    {
        [UmbracoRequired("Enquiry.Error.Required")]
        [UmbracoDisplayName("Enquiry.Name")]
        public string Name { get; set; }

        [UmbracoEmail(ErrorMessageDictionaryKey = "Enquiry.Error.Email")]
        [UmbracoRequired("Enquiry.Error.Required")]
        [UmbracoDisplayName("Enquiry.Email")]
        public string Email { get; set; }

        [UmbracoDisplayName("Enquiry.Telephone")]
        public int Telephone { get; set; }

        [UmbracoRequired("Enquiry.Error.Required")]
        [UmbracoDisplayName("Enquiry.Message")]
        public string Message { get; set; }
    }

And my controller:

public class EnquiryController : SurfaceController
    {
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Submit(EnquiryModel model)
        {
            string nameValue = model.Name;
            string emailValue = model.Email;
            int telephoneValue = model.Telephone;
            string messageValue = model.Message;

            if (!ModelState.IsValid)
                return CurrentUmbracoPage();

            // Create a regular expression to remove script tags
            Regex regex = new Regex(@"<script(.+?)*</script>");
            string request = regex.Replace(model.Message, string.Empty);
            request = request + "<br/><br/>" + "Phone: " + model.Telephone + "<br/><br/>" + "Email: " + model.Email;

            MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
            message.From = new MailAddress(model.Email);
            message.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
            message.Subject = "New Website Enquiry - " + model.Name;
            message.Body = request;

            SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

            try
            {
                client.Send(message);
                TempData["success"] = true;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                TempData["error"] = true;
                return CurrentUmbracoPage();
            }

            return RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage();

        }

    }

And finally my view:

@using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<EnquiryController>("Submit"))
{
    <div class="form-group col-md-6">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name, new { @class = "control-label"})
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name, new { @class = "form-control", aria_required = "true" , required = "true", placeholder = "Name" })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)
    </div>
    <div class="form-group col-md-6">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Email, new { @class = "control-label" })
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email, new { @class = "form-control", aria_required = "true", required = "true", type = "email", placeholder = "[email protected]"})
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Email)
    </div>
    <div class="form-group col-md-6">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Telephone, new { @class = "control-label" })
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Telephone, new { @class = "form-control"})
    </div>
    <div class="form-group col-md-12">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Message, new { @class = "control-label" })
        @Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Message, new { @class = "form-control message", rows = "7", placeholder = "How can we help?" })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Message)
    </div>
    <div class="form-group col-md-12">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-custom">@UmbracoValidationHelper.UmbracoHelper.GetDictionaryValue("Buttons.Send")</button>
    </div>
}

I have tested all of the values needed by the model and they are all correct yet the code always bugs out at the model validity checker. What is wrong here?
