How to turn off one of the default error messages on a field in .net MVC

Question

I have the following in a model in MVC:

SQL

[DataType(DataType.Currency, ErrorMessage="*")]
        [Required(ErrorMessage="*")]
        [Range(.50,double.MaxValue, ErrorMessage="*")]
        public Decimal PaymentAmount{get;set;}

When I use the editor for, and the validation for this field, it works pretty well with one exception. If I start typing and get to 25. then I get an error message "The field PaymentAmount must be a number".

My layout is such that I don't want long error messages. So it becomes a really bad usability deal when the layout breaks while you are typing something that you are likely going to finish typing to say 25.0 or 25.5 for example. I have set the error message on all the annotations that I can find, but I still get that. Any tips for what I am missing?

thanks to all who take the time to answer this one

Solution 1

place your error message, replace of "your message":
it should be working...

SQL

[DataType(DataType.Currency, ErrorMessage="your message")]
        [Required(ErrorMessage="*")]
        [Range(.50,double.MaxValue, ErrorMessage="your message")]
        public Decimal PaymentAmount{get;set;}

my problem is that what you have suggested here is not working... I did notice at least that it doesn't show the undesired message until the textbox loses focus, so it isn't as critical.
