Why ModelState.IsValid always return false in mvc

Please post your Model Class.

To check the errors in your ModelState use the following code:

var errors = ModelState
    .Where(x => x.Value.Errors.Count > 0)
    .Select(x => new { x.Key, x.Value.Errors })
    .ToArray();

OR: You can also use

var errors = ModelState.Values.SelectMany(v => v.Errors);

Place a break point at the above line and see what are the errors in your ModelState.


As Brad Wilson states in his answer here:

ModelState.IsValid tells you if any model errors have been added to ModelState.

The default model binder will add some errors for basic type conversion issues (for example, passing a non-number for something which is an "int"). You can populate ModelState more fully based on whatever validation system you're using.

Try using :-

if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
    var errors = ModelState.SelectMany(x => x.Value.Errors.Select(z => z.Exception));

    // Breakpoint, Log or examine the list with Exceptions.
}

If it helps catching you the error. Courtesy this and this
