I need to know whether there is ValidationMessage or not. Because I want to add to “

@if (Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.UserId)){
 Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.UserId) + "<br />
}

the above code does not work, anybody know how it make work?

Thank you!

You need to check the ModelState for that particular error. For example:

@if (ModelState["UserId"].Errors.Count > 0) {
    Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.UserId) @:<br/>
}

This could get really ugly if you have it everywhere though. If you need to do this a lot, then create a custom Html Helper extension.
