I have a class. At one point, I had set the properties of the class to [Required] using System.ComponentModel....
Okay, then I realized this was not needed. I have removed the required property but when I try to submit the form to an ActionResult the form does NOT post and still is trying to enforce the TextBoxFor(theModelProperty) to be populated.
I have deleted the "obj" folder, the "bin" folder, and also "Cleaned" the solutions. Still NO resolution.
I don't want to do a stupid workaround, I would like to do things correctly. Any idea why this occurs?
You have two options:
nullable
,If you have value type properties. Client validation will always generate required validations. If you don't want required validation for value types make them nullable.
