asp.net mvc 3 - How to disable client side validation field wise

Question

suppose my form has 5 fields and first two will be validated at client side and next one will not but next will. i got the guidance like

<div class="editor-field">
    @{ Html.EnableClientValidation(false); }
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.BatchId, new { @class = "k-textbox" })
    @{ Html.EnableClientValidation(true); }
</div>

but it did not work. i wrote Html.EnableClientValidation(true)

and after second field and before 3rd field i wrote Html.EnableClientValidation(false) and again i wrote Html.EnableClientValidation(true) before 4th field. but i saw all fields are getting validated at client side. thanks

Answer 1

Try @Html.TexBoxFor(model => model.BatchId, new {@class = "k-textbox", data_val = false})

That should disable validation for field
