I want to implement client validation on a list of objects. I want to make sure that the list has at least one object, so I used custom validation as described here and made it client validable. This works well when the list is of simple datatype like an int. That is

public List<int> var{get; set;}

With this I can include a Listboxfor in my view and when the form containing the list is submitted, client validation kicks in. However I now have a list of objects

public List<MyClass> var{get; set;}

Items are added to this list dynamically. I can therefore not have a ListBoxFor in my View. How can i display the list in my View so that that client validation picks it up?

I would recommend using Remote validations for this. Here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg508808(v=vs.98).aspx – Botonomous Aug 29 '13 at 17:52
So, what do you have in your View? – ataravati Aug 29 '13 at 18:33
I have a button to generate the list item, and the items are bound to the model – jpo Aug 29 '13 at 23:28
