Knockoutjs afterRender is not firing on native template

Consider some HTML markup which uses MVC partial view to create a dialog. When selectedMember is set on the viewmodel, the dialog will be populated and the openDialog event gets called which calls Jquery dialog("open").

I use the afterRender event to ensure unobtrusive validation works since the dialog is dynamically created. However the afterRender function is never called?

<div id="dlgAddMember" class="hidden" data-bind="with: selectedMember, openDialog: selectedMember, afterRender:hookupValidation">
        @Html.Action(ekmMvc.People.AddMemberDialog())
</div>

Does anyone know why this isn't working. It seems this was working ok using Jquery template engine.

You need to specify it like:

data-bind="template: { data: selectedMember, if: selectedMember, afterRender: hookupValidation }"

When you do not specify a name for the template, then it will use anonymous templates. So, this is the equivalent of with with an afterRender.
