MVC 3 unobtrusive jquery validate - how to add a Dummy message to Vallidation Summary

Question

I get some error messages from the back end service and I want them to be displayed in the Validation Summary control on the page.

I am using MVC 3 and ValidationSummary is not on the page till a validation fails due to unobtrusive stuff i believe.

I looked at the following example but it does not work with MVC 3.

Does anyone knows how to simply insert an error message in Validation summary control in MVC 3 with all the unobtrusive stuff switched on?

Thanks,

Dexter

Are you asking how to do remote validation? – shanabus Feb 21 '12 at 20:43 — shanabus, Feb 21 '12 at 20:43

It sounds like this article on Remote Validation should do the trick.

Of course, you will still need to make sure you print the ValidationSummary in your views:

<%= Html.ValidationSummary("There are errors that must be fixed:")%>
