For months, I've been considering downloading Microsoft's express web platform and learning ASP.NET, which I might actually enjoy, seeing as I already do web work with PHP, but am much more comfortable with C#.

This doesn't provide a ValidationSummary at the moment so I chose to do an AJAX post which loops through ModelState errors and update a DIV with the error messages on a successful AJAX post. The problem with this is your ValidationMessage * next to t...
