Remote validation isn't working in mvc.

I am using remote validator but it's not working even debugger isn't tracing that method. 

     public JsonResult CheckStrategyName(string StrategyName)
        {
            var ab = from a in db.Sterategy where a.StrategyName == StrategyName select a.StrategyName;

            return !ab.Any() ? Json(true, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet) : Json(string.Format("Name Already esists"), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }

I have used it here 

        [Required]
        [Remote("CheckStrategyName", "St", ErrorMessage = "Already exists ")]     
        [Display(Name = "Name")]
        public string StrategyName { get; set; }

Webconfig 

    <appSettings>
    <add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
    <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
    <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
    </appSettings>

Where am I making mistake ? :(

Your server code & settings seems to be fine. Make sure the following are in place

  1. You are using the TextBoxFor helper method to generate the relevant input field markup and it is inside a form.

    @using (Html.BeginForm())
{       
   @Html.TextBoxFor(s => s.StrategyName)
   @Html.ValidationMessageFor(s => s.StrategyName)    

   <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
}

  2. You have included the javascript libraries needed for validation.

     <script src="~/Scripts/jquery.js"></script>
 <script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js"></script>
 <script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js"></script>
