ASP.NET Core and JQuery unobtrusive AJAX not working

Question

If I start a new project in .net 4.5 and hit manage nuget packages, search for ajax, then hit install for ajax unobtrusive. I can then go into my cshtml file and type @Ajax.___

Answer 1

While the Ajax.BeginForm() methods do not work, the actual unobtrusive Ajax html does. The C# methods just help generate the Html form tags. Forgive me in thse syntax is wrong, this is from memory, but you get the idea

@using (Ajax.BeginForm("EmployeeMaster", "Home", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST", UpdateTargetId = "divEmp" }))
{
    //form content
}

becomes

NOTE: The above HTML STILL needs the unobtrusive ajax js files for it to wire up these data-* attributes correctly. This is not a part of ASP.NET Core MVC
