I need to wrap the Validation Summary in a div. How do I set the Validation Summary to wrap it with a div when errors are present?

Answer 1

What you can do is this :

<%if (!ViewData.ModelState.IsValid) { %>
 
    <%= Html.ValidationSummary(
        "Login was unsuccessful. Please correct the errors and try again.") %>

<% } %>
