Creating ViewModels

Next, we will be creating several ViewModels that we will be using in our Views model.

To start with, we will create a RegisterViewModel class that contains three properties—Email, Password, and ConfirmPassword. We decorate the properties with appropriate attributes so that we can use client-side validation using an unobtrusive jQuery validation. We are making all the fields required as follows:

public class RegisterViewModel 
    { 
        [Required] 
        [EmailAddress] 
        [Display(Name = "Email")] 
        public string Email { get; set; } 
 
        [Required] 
        [StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)] 
        [DataType(DataType.Password)] 
        [Display(Name = "Password")] 
        public string Password { get; set; } 
 
        [DataType(DataType.Password)] 
        [Display(Name = "Confirm password")] 
    ...
