This article is going to explain how to validate the model manually. If you want to calculate the value of a model and assign it to the model, you can use TryValidateModel to validate if the model is valid or not. Let us see with an example of how TryValidateModel works. The following is SampleViewModel. The [Required] attribute is included for all properties. That is, all properties are mandatory, so it is a must to assign value to them. public class SampleViewModel { [Required] public int MovieID { get ; set ; } [Required] public string Movie { get ; set ; } [Required] public string DirectedBy { get ; set ; } [Required] public int ReleaseYear { get ; set ; } } Next is a controller Index() action method. Here the value is assigned to MovieID and ReleaseYear, but not to DirectedBy and ReleaseYear. public IActionResult Index() { SampleViewModel model = new SampleViewModel() { MovieID =1, ReleaseYear = 2019 ...

SampleViewModel.cs public class SampleViewModel { public int MovieID { get ; set ; } public string Movie { get ; set ; } public int ReleaseYear { get ; set ; } } Below is an index view code. Here you can see how the model properties are bonded to the TagHelpers. Index.cshtml @ { ViewData[ "Title" ] = "ModelState Example" ; Layout = null ; } @model SampleViewModel <form action= "/Home/index" method= "post" > <div> <div> <label for = "MovieID" >Movie ID:</label> <input id= "MovieID" ...
