Asp.Net Mvc 3 Client Validation, Attributes generation

Question

Asp.net Mvc3 ads some custom attributes like \"data-val-required\" on input elements to perform validation. I know all theory behind this, how it works.

What i want to k

Answer 1

I believe BeginForm method internally assigns a formcontext object to viewCotnext's property FormContext. If you do not want to use plain html form tags you have to do it manually like

<%
    this.ViewContext.FormContext = new FormContext();
%>

and in razor it would probably be

@{
    this.ViewContext.FormContext = new FormContext();
}
