Answer 1

Im my case I added and id equals to the name automatically generated for VS on the html and in the code I´ve added a line to that case.

$(function () {
            $.validator.addMethod('latinos', function (value, element) {
                return this.optional(element) || /^[a-záéóóúàèìòùäëïöüñ\s]+$/i.test(value);
            });

            $("#btn").on("click", function () {
                //alert("aa");
                $("#formulario").validate({                    
                    rules:
                    {
                        email: { required: true, email: true, minlength: 8, maxlength: 80 },
                        digitos: { required: true, digits: true, minlength: 2, maxlength: 100 },
                        nombres: { required: true, latinos: true, minlength: 3, maxlength: 50 },
                        NombresUsuario: { required: true, latinos: true, minlength: 3, maxlength: 50 }
                    },
                    messages:
                    {
                        email: {
                            required: 'El campo es requerido', email: 'El formato de email es incorrecto',
                            minlength: 'El mínimo permitido es 8 caracteres', maxlength: 'El máximo permitido son 80 caracteres'
                        },
                        digitos: {
                            required: 'El campo es requerido', digits: 'Sólo se aceptan dígitos',
                            minlength: 'El mínimo permitido es 2 caracteres', maxlength: 'El máximo permitido son 10 caracteres'
                        },
                        nombres: {
                            required: 'El campo es requerido', latinos: 'Sólo se aceptan letras',
                            minlength: 'El mínimo permitido es 3 caracteres', maxlength: 'El máximo permitido son 50 caracteres'
                        },
                        NombresUsuario: {
                            required: 'El campo es requerido', latinos: 'Sólo se aceptan letras',
                            minlength: 'El mínimo permitido es 3 caracteres', maxlength: 'El máximo permitido son 50 caracteres'
                        }
                    }
                });
            });
