How can i Validate Form Field in ASP.NET MVC3?

Question

Suppose I have a model named 'company' holding some properties like

Name
Address
fax

And My View (of IEnumarable type (MVC# RAZOR)) has two forms one(form submitting data to different actions) to display list all the available company(existing). And another(form) i used to create new client with Name TextBox
Like

@Html.TextBox("name","")

Here i want to add validation to that particular field.
Suggest me the possible easiest way??
What i tried is http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/39016/Form-validation-with-ASP-NET-MVC(But it doesn't works)

It should work. Could you be more elaborate on your error. What error you get ? — Anand

my view has two forms

Therefore you need two view models because I suppose that the validation rules are different for those 2 forms. So you will have a SearchCompanyViewModel where the Name field will not be required and a NewCompanyViewModel where the Name field will be required.

Want to apply validation to 2nd form only

@Kannas, great, then you simply decorate your second view model properties with the necessary validation attributes.

I did it. I did all necessary stuff (suggested at mentioned link/ and few straight steps we generally follow) to apply validation. After doing all this, don't know what went wrong and my view returned back with no validation message
