Question

I have a form that i want to validate ( show validation summary, show validation properties error messages and support jquery client validation ).
Validation summary appears, validation properties error messages appears but when i add

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

for client side validation i get the client validation, i get the validation properties error messages but the validation summary does not appear any more.
What am i missing?

2 things to verify:

1. The Html.ValidationSummary helper call must be inside the <form>
2. You must pass false as argument: @Html.ValidationSummary(false)

Example:

@model MyViewModel

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.ValidationSummary(false)
    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(x => x.Foo)    
        @Html.EditorFor(x => x.Foo)
    </div>
    <button type="submit">OK</button>
}
