HTML

@Html.TextBoxFor(Model => Model.Topic, new { @class = "form-control Topic ", data-Validator="email",  placeholder = "Enter Topic",  required = "required" })

data-validate="email" is working fine with html controls but not working with html helper.

Property names in C# cannot contain the "-" character. The workaround is to use the "_" character instead, which the MVC helper should then convert to a "-" in the rendered markup:

@Html.TextBoxFor(Model => Model.Topic, new { @class = "form-control Topic", data_validate = "email", placeholder = "Enter Topic",  required = "required" })
