Hi Anil Kumar,

I had gone through your code and tried to obtain validation in your form.
now the validations are working fine even validation summary is displaying. I am attaching the solution zip file below kindly go through it.

Hope this will help you.

i got the solution Because new { Name = "EmployeeName" }` is changing the name attribute of my form controls so they no longer match to model of the validation message placeholder generated by ValidationMessageFor().. based on this error messages not displaying

Still same .my issue is validation firing but validation error message not displaying.
if i used @Html.ValidationSummary(false) at this time validation messages are displaying as a paragraph summery .. as follows

I don't want like this .. i want to display individual error message for each and every input controls.

Hi Anil,

Add these three scripts in your code.
I think one of these are missing.
"~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.js">
"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-validate/1.17.0/jquery.validate.js">
"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-validation-unobtrusive/3.2.6/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js">
Kindly mark as answered if issue resolve.

Thanks
