Call MVC 3 Client Side Validation Manually for ajax posts

Question

I am creating an MVC 3 web application. I want to use Data Annotations on my entity class and then use unobtrusive client side validation before making a post back to the se

Answer 1

        if(!$('#myform').data('unobtrusiveValidation').validate())
        {
           // add your extra custom logic
        } 
        else
        { 
             $('#myform').submit(); 
        }

It triggers the validation and returns a boolean, so you can check before submit.
