compilation error for Validation.RequireField
Hi,

I'm using Umbraco 7.1.6, and I'm trying to use Validation.RequireField for my contact form's fields. I'm getting the following error message:

Compiler Error Message: CS0117: 'System.Web.Helpers.Validation' does not contain a definition for 'RequireField'

for the codeline:
```
Validation.RequireField("youremail", "Email is required.")
```
I'd appreciate your help.

Hi Saba and welcome to our.

What if you are doing something like this:
```
Validation.RequiredFields("youremail","Email is required.")
```
I found someone that have the problem too, and it was because of misspelling.

Hope this helps,

Thank you Dennis. I added the 's' at the end, I'm still getting the same error.
```
Validation.RequireFields("youremail", "Email is required.");
```
Is there anything else I'm missing?

Thanks.

Hi Saba,

What I see is that you are missing the d in RequiredFields, so try this:
```
Validation.RequiredFields("youremail","Email is required.")
```
Hope this helps,
