Is it possible to have a strongly typed validation message in a ViewModel?

This works: @Html.ValidationMessage("Name")

Problem Is it possible to get strongly typed helper working?: @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.EventInVM.Name)

ViewModel:

public class EventViewModel
{
    public Event EventInVM { get; set; }
    public IList<Series> ListOfSeries { get; set; }
}

Controller:

 [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Create(EventViewModel eventViewModel)
    {
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            SetupDropDownsStronglyTyped(eventViewModel);
            return View(eventViewModel);
        }

        uow.Add(eventViewModel.EventInVM);
        uow.SaveChanges();
        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }

View

   <h2>Create</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    @Html.ValidationSummary(false)
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Event</legend>
        @Html.Partial("_CreateOrEdit", Model)
        <p>
            <input type="submit" value="Create" />
        </p>
    </fieldset>
}

Partial

@model dave开发者_运维问答.Controllers.EventViewModel

    <div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.EventInVM.Name)
    </div>
    <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.EventInVM.Name)
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.EventInVM.Name)
    </div>

See this answer here: implementing ValidationMessageFor I believe its because you are referencing another property off of a property.

Instead of @Html.Partial("_CreateOrEdit", Model) use @Html.EditorForModel():

@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    @Html.ValidationSummary(false)
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Event</legend>
        @Html.EditorForModel()
        <p>
            <input type="submit" value="Create" />
        </p>
    </fieldset>
}

and then put the editor template inside ~/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/EventViewModel.cshtml
