I am trying to show localized error messages. I dont want hardcoded messages in my model. I have removed code to keep it simple.

My model

    public class BankIdNorModel : PageViewModel
    {
        public BankIdNorModel(LoginPage currentPage) : base(currentPage)
        {
        }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "I want to get this text from my xml language files like this /formerror/ssnrequired")]
        [DataType(DataType.PhoneNumber)]
        public string Ssn { get; set; }

    }

My view

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.ValidationSummary()
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.Ssn, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
    
}

I guess i have to use ErrorMessageResourceType and ErrorMessageResourceName but how do i do that?

Cheers Øyvind

You can use @Html.ValidationMessageFor, e.g @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Ssn, Html.Translate("/formerror/ssnrequired"))

The suggestion from Tim works, but the error messages are always rendered with <span class="field-validation-valid"></span> or <span class="field-validation-error"></span>. This was confusing for me at least. :)
