Razor validation not working

Question

Hi All I have a page that uses Razor validation and for some reason the page no longer validates.
I have no idea what could have gone wrong.

I am using something called a partial class to house the validation since I don't understand view models all that well.
the partial class has the validation set and this was working... but now a user can submit a page without
entering data in the required fields.

Can some one give me some ideas on what could have gone silly??

Here is a sample of the view the partial calls and the Controller...
I can't imagine what could have cause this to stop working

The form view

Hi @App Dev ,

I can't imagine what could have cause this to stop working

You can press F12 to see if there is any specific error message.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/legacy/hh968260(v=vs.85)
According to your description and code, you should want to implement DropDownList validation, so I wrote a related demo, you can refer to it.
Controller:

public class HomeController : Controller  
    {  
        private DistrictContext db = new DistrictContext();  
        public IList<SelectListItem> GetCountries()  
        {                    
           var countries = db.Districts  
                .Select(x => new SelectListItem { Text = x.DistrictName, Value = x.DistrictId.ToString() })  
                .ToList();  
            countries.Insert(0, new SelectListItem { Text = "Choose a District", Value = "" });  
            return countries;  
        }  
         
        public ActionResult Index()  
        {  
            ViewBag.Districts = GetCountries();  
            return View();  
  
        }  
        [HttpPost]  
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]  
        public ActionResult Index(District district)  
        {  
            if (ModelState.IsValid)  
            {                 
                ViewBag.Districts = GetCountries();  
                return RedirectToAction("Index");  
            }  
            else  
            {  
                try  
                {  
                    ViewBag.Districts = GetCountries();  
                }  
                catch (Exception ex)  
                {  
                }  
            }  
            return View(district);  
        }  
    }  

Model

 public class District  
    {  
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Required.")]  
        [Display(Name = "Employee District:")]  
        public int? DistrictId { get; set; }  
  
        [Display(Name = "Employee District:")]  
        public string DistrictName { get; set; }  
  
    }  

cshtml
@默 WebApplication3.Models.District

@{  
    ViewBag.Title = "NWR";  
}  
@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post))  
{  
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()  
  
    <td>  
        <div class="editor-label">  
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.DistrictId, "District")  
        </div>  
    </td>  
    <td>  
        <div class="editor-field">  
            @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.DistrictId, new SelectList(ViewBag.Districts, "Value", "Text", new { @class = "form-control" }))  
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DistrictId)  
        </div>  
  
    </td>  
    <td><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></td>  
}

It turns out when I was making edits I deleted ehis section here which think was what poster Agavejoe posted?

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")  

Not sure what it does 100%, but when I put it back it worked.
Some how it was deleted when I was added a java scripting function to the page
