MVC 4 client side validation not working

Question

Can anyone tell me why client side validation is not working in my MVC 4 application.

_layout.schtml

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@R         


        

Answer 1

In my case the validation itself was working (I could validate an element and retrieve a correct boolean value), but there was no visual output.

My fault was that I forgot this line @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => ...)

The TS has this in his code and got me on the right track, but I put it in here as reference for others.
