No client-side validation for Telerik web application project

[miksh]

I created a Telerik Web application C# project in VS2013 and found out that no client-side validation occurs. Is it expected due to the Telerik project template is missing any of MS js libraries?

Hi,

We are aware of this problem. It is a general configuration issue between the new unobtrusive ASP.NET 4.5 validation and jQuery. The way you could workaround this issue is to disable the Unobstrusive validation mode with the following line in web.config:

<appSettings>
       ...
       ...

    <add key="ValidationSettings:UnobtrusiveValidationMode" value="None" />
   </appSettings>

Thanks, works great.

Why not to add this option into Telerik project template then?
