Hey Chriztian,

I think that is the way you are meant to do it, it's the only way I've seen to do it :-)

Hi Nik,

How have you seen this work? From what I can see, that part of the code renders en entire <span> that's either empty or containing the error meassage. All I need is a flag that tells me if the field is essentially "Valid" or "Invalid".

It's absolutely necessary to be able to style anything that I can set a class on the field wrapper, indicating the state.

Hi Nik!

Oooh - that looks promising! Thanks a bunch - I'll give it a go :-)

Here's what I did, which works for my purpose:

In /Views/Partials/Forms/Themes/CustomTheme/Form.cshtml I added two functions at the bottom:

@functions {
    public bool HasErrors(string fieldId) {
        if (ViewData.ModelState.ContainsKey(fieldId)) {
            return ViewData.ModelState[fieldId].Errors.Any();
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

    public string ValidStateClass(string fieldId) {
        var klass = "";
        if (HasErrors(fieldId)) {
            klass = "invalid";
        }
        return klass;
    }
}

So then I call the @ValidStateClass() function on the field wrapper:

<div class="@Html.GetFormFieldWrapperClass(f.FieldTypeName) @f.CssClass @ValidStateClass(f.Id)" @{ if (hidden) { <text> style="display: none" </text> } }>

Thanks again Nik!

After some time, still this solution worked for me. Thank you so much Chriztian!
