I'm extremely new to .NET and was given the task of upgrading an old application that we have so that it can run on a Windows 2012 server. Right now, it is running on a 2003 server, but that will be going away soon, so... This application was written using VS2003 and uses MVC2. I was able to get it to the point where I can use VS2010, and I attempted to do an upgrade to MVC3 (I followed directions found here). The code compiles and runs, but the problem is that the client side validation no longer works.
I've updated all the references to MVC3 in the web.config file, and I made sure to add :
<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
This is a large application with lots of views and lots of .ascx files, so moving to .cshtml is really not something that I want to do.
I realize I haven't given you all a TON of information, but I'm hoping that someone has some experience in moving from MVC2 to MVC3 and can give me a few pointers.
Thanks much.
