Hi Mike,

Thanks for sharing a great tutorial..

however, when I try the validation, it got exception:

'System.Web.Helpers.Validation' does not contain a definition for 'RequireField'

'System.Web.Helpers.Validation' does not contain a definition for 'IsValid'

Am I missing something?

I'm not sure, but this sounds like a problem with the installation of ASP.NET Web Pages -- the helper should be built in. Is there a possibility that you're working with a version older than ASP.NET Web Pages v2 Beta?

I copied everything and tried to launch it, but it didn't work and came out an error page. I don't know where it is wrong and it just doesn't show the same as you said. Or there is something you forgot to put? Could you help me?

I just installed the latest version of WebMatrix and I don't know what version of ASP.NET Web Pages it includes.

Hi, I tried the WebMatrix 2 Refresh 2 version, which is worst and slower than WebMatrix org version, and gets everything no running. Then I installed back WebMatrix org version now.

Yep, the code in this tutorial is chucking a compilation error in WebMatrix. Here are my specs:

WebMatrix: 7.1.1073.1

IIS 7.5 Express: 7.1.1190.0

ASP.NET Web Pages: 1.0.20105.407

I tried searching the Package Manager's online repository for "validation.helper", but found nothing.

I installed "ASP.NET Web Helpers Library 1.15" but that didn't help either.

I discovered that the WebMatrix install file I downloaded from this very site just yesterday was the out-dated version. Just went to the download page again, and lo and behold, there's a newer install package. My new specs:

Version 2 Beta

WebMatrix: 7.1.1312.0

ASP.NET Web Pages: 2.0.20126.16343

The form now validates! :)

Note to Mike: There is a 500 character limit in this comment system which makes it difficult to respond properly. I tried the site feedback link, but it goes to an error page.

Sorry, Douglas. I agree that the character limit on the comments here can be restrictive. If you're having product problems, as opposed to problems with these docs, try the forums: forums.asp.net/+and+ASP+NET+Web+Pages.

In case the URL is truncated, it's this but with http at the front:

@ksnsridhar, it looks like you're still working with version 1 of ASP.NET Web Pages. May I suggest that you uninstall that version (also WebMatrix 1.0) and install the newest version -- ?

Great tutorial but I'm having a problem right now. After I hit the add movie button it is giving me an error message saying:

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

I don't know why it is saying that cause I followed all your directions and it still is giving me the same error. Do you know what might be the problem here?

Never mind. I found the problem myself and it was really a minor error I overlooked. Great Walkthrough like I said, and keep it up. Thanks again for making this

This is what I have to do to fix the 'System.Web.Helpers.Validation' does not contain a definition for 'RequireField' error.

1. Add a reference to System.Web.WebPages

found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET Web Pages\v2.0\Assemblies

2. Change the web config file add
