Disable unobtrusive validation on an ASP.NET MVC form

Question

I have two forms on a page. I want the first form to use unobtrusive validation, as it's since automatically generated by ASP.NET MVC Framework. There is a second form, however, which I wrote manually, that should not use unobtrusive validation. Here's some code: ``` @using (Html.BeginForm("Add", "Contacts", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "AddForm" })) { @Html.ValidationSummary(true)

Datos Contacto

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name)

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Name) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.ContactDepartmentID)

@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.ContactDepartmentID, (List)ViewBag.ContactDepartments) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ContactDepartmentID)

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Sex)

Accepted Answer

You can disable the unobtrusive validation from within the razor code via this Html Helper property:

```
HtmlHelper.ClientValidationEnabled = false;
```

That way you can have unobtrusive validation on and off for different forms according to this setting in their particular view/partial view.
