这是对@Dunc的回答的扩展。参见xml文档注释

// ReSharper disable CheckNamespace
using System.Linq;
using System.Web.Mvc;


public static class Debugg
{
    /// <summary>
    /// This class is for debugging ModelState errors either in the quick watch 
    /// window or the immediate window.
    /// When the model state contains dozens and dozens of properties, 
    /// it is impossible to inspect why a model state is invalid.
    /// This method will pull up the errors
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="modelState">modelState</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static ModelError[]  It(ModelStateDictionary modelState)
    {
        var errors = modelState.Values.SelectMany(x => x.Errors).ToArray();
        return errors;            
    }
}

为了以防有人需要它，我在我的项目中创建并使用下面的静态类

使用的例子:

if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
    var errors = ModelState.GetModelErrors();
    return Json(new { errors });
}

Usings:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using WebGrease.Css.Extensions;

类:

public static class ModelStateErrorHandler
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Returns a Key/Value pair with all the errors in the model
    /// according to the data annotation properties.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="errDictionary"></param>
    /// <returns>
    /// Key: Name of the property
    /// Value: The error message returned from data annotation
    /// </returns>
    public static Dictionary<string, string> GetModelErrors(this ModelStateDictionary errDictionary)
    {
        var errors = new Dictionary<string, string>();
        errDictionary.Where(k => k.Value.Errors.Count > 0).ForEach(i =>
        {
            var er = string.Join(", ", i.Value.Errors.Select(e => e.ErrorMessage).ToArray());
            errors.Add(i.Key, er);
        });
        return errors;
    }

    public static string StringifyModelErrors(this ModelStateDictionary errDictionary)
    {
        var errorsBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        var errors = errDictionary.GetModelErrors();
        errors.ForEach(key => errorsBuilder.AppendFormat("{0}: {1} -", key.Key,key.Value));
        return errorsBuilder.ToString();
    }
}

foreach (ModelState modelState in ViewData.ModelState.Values) {
    foreach (ModelError error in modelState.Errors) {
        DoSomethingWith(error);
    }
}

请参见如何在ASP中获取模型状态错误的集合。净MVC ?。

在调试过程中，我发现在每个页面的底部放置一个表来显示所有ModelState错误是很有用的。

<table class="model-state">
    @foreach (var item in ViewContext.ViewData.ModelState) 
    {
        if (item.Value.Errors.Any())
        { 
        <tr>
            <td><b>@item.Key</b></td>
            <td>@((item.Value == null || item.Value.Value == null) ? "<null>" : item.Value.Value.RawValue)</td>
            <td>@(string.Join("; ", item.Value.Errors.Select(x => x.ErrorMessage)))</td>
        </tr>
        }
    }
</table>

<style>
    table.model-state
    {
        border-color: #600;
        border-width: 0 0 1px 1px;
        border-style: solid;
        border-collapse: collapse;
        font-size: .8em;
        font-family: arial;
    }

    table.model-state td
    {
        border-color: #600;
        border-width: 1px 1px 0 0;
        border-style: solid;
        margin: 0;
        padding: .25em .75em;
        background-color: #FFC;
    }
 </style>

用于将错误消息数组传递给View，可能通过Json:

messageArray = this.ViewData.ModelState.Values.SelectMany(modelState => modelState.Errors, (modelState, error) => error.ErrorMessage).ToArray();

我可以用一点LINQ来做这个，

public static List<string> GetErrorListFromModelState
                                              (ModelStateDictionary modelState)
{
      var query = from state in modelState.Values
                  from error in state.Errors
                  select error.ErrorMessage;

      var errorList = query.ToList();
      return errorList;
}

上面的方法返回一个验证错误列表。
