ASP.Net 2012 Unobtrusive Validation with jQuery

I was using Visual Studio 2012 and I created an empty ASP.Net Web Application, when I tried to add the traditional validator controls to a new page, this error occurs:

WebForms UnobtrusiveValidationMode requires a ScriptResourceMapping for 'jquery'. Please add a ScriptResourceMapping named jquery(case-sensitive).

Solution

It was complaining about the ValidationSettings:UnobtrusiveValidationMode value. To Disable it you need to do the following in the web.config file.

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