Add a css class or id name to Html.ValidationSummary

Question

I would like to wither add an additional CSS class or give an ID to my @Html.ValidationSummary() tag. I tried the new keyword like I would with other HTML Helpers but gives an anonymous type to string conversion error. Is this possible to do and if so how?

@Html.ValidationSummary(false, new { @id = "validationSummary" })

@RosdiKasim That would be a global change, there are certain pages in my app that have a different look/feel to them then others so I need to change it to match those. — Matthew Verstraete

There is no method overload for Html.ValidationSummary that receives (Boolean, Object). There is one that receives (Boolean, String, Object) though.

You could try this:

@Html.ValidationSummary(false, "", new { @id = "validationSummary" })

That gives conversion errors for each one. First is string to Bool, second is bool to string, then Anonymous type to string.
