ASP MVC 3 field validation of HTML

I have a field that will need to ALLOW HTML. It's 100% valid and okay. When I post back from my application I get the following message:

A potentially dangerous Request.Fo开发者_运维技巧rm value was detected from the client (PowerSource.Text[0]="<p>A control im...").

To stop validation I added to my class as follows:

public class PowerSource
{
    [System.Web.Mvc.AllowHtml] 
    public string[] Text { get; set; }
}

}

The problem is that it doesn't seem to work. I have done this for other fields and I believe it works okay. But not for the field above.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Do I need to mark this field as a data member or something like that?

Please note that I am using MVC3 and I understand validation is a bit different in this version.

The property you have decorated with the [AllowHtml] attribute is an array (string[]). It should be a simple string property for this to work:

[AllowHtml] 
public string Text { get; set; }

Then in the view you could have a corresponding input field allowing the user to enter anything:

@Html.TextAreaFor(x => x.Text)

and finally when you submit to the following action there shouldn't be an exception:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(PowerSource model)
{
    ...
}

You have to add [ValidateInput(false)] in your controller, don't know if you can do this on the Model but it work for me in the controller.

[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ViewResult Edit(Object obj)
{
}
