$("#searchForm").validate({
               errorClass: "error-class",
               validClass: "valid-class",
               errorElement: 'div',
               errorPlacement: function (error, element) {
                   if (element.parent('.input-group').length) {
                       error.insertAfter(element.parent());
                   } else {
                       error.insertAfter(element);
                   }
               },
               onError: function () {
                   $('.input-group.error-class').find('.help-block.form-error').each(function () {
                       $(this).closest('.form-group').addClass('error-class').append($(this));
                   });
               },
               rules: {
                   txtFromDate: { required: true },
                   txtToDate: { required: true }

               },
