Hi

@mohsin1122 Can you provide more context, in order for folks to help you diagnose the issue?

You registered the service in Startup.cs correct?

In your controller, when you submit without clicking the recaptcha, ModelState..IsValid is still evaluating to true?

How are you placing the recaptcha on your page? Are you using the tag helper? Or are you putting your own version of recaptcha on the page? Are you submitting the form to the controller, or are you manually doing an AJAX call?

Hi.
yes ModelState.IsValid is false but as per my understanding we use attribute based validation to avoid entering method body that is why i think it is not working.

Startup.cs
services.AddRecaptcha(new RecaptchaOptions { SiteKey = Configuration["Recaptcha:SiteKey"], SecretKey = Configuration["Recaptcha:SecretKey"] });

yes i am using <recaptcha /> tag helper. also this is not an AJAX call

@mohsin1122 I had a similar issue when adding to a razor page and the attribute was added only to the OnPost method. Moving the [ValidateRecaptcha] attribute to the class rather than the method solved the issue for me.
