as of right now I am validating checkbox list in the model by overriding the IsValid function so it will get validated on the server-side, but I was wondering if there's a way to add validation on the client-side. Thank you.

You can use jquery validate unobtrusive script. For this you would require to put DataAnnotation attributes to your model class

something like following

public class Model
{
    [Required(ErrorMessage="Name is required")]
    [StringLength(50, ErrorMessage = "Name can not be greater than 50")]
    public string Name{ get; set; }
}

And include the following scripts in your view

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

I have done that and I thought the same that adding the required attribute will validate the checkbox list, but for some reason it doesn't. – atang 18 hours ago
okay, I understand your problem. Is it like selecting one of the checkbox ? – Anand 18 hours ago
