Asp.net mvc jquery validation dropdown

Question

How can I check a dropdown with unobtrusive javascript? How to check it with a text field for the required validator, but it does not work for a drop-down list?

Need to modify an unobtrusive js file? or is there another option for checking the dropdown list?

I want to show errors when I checked form.validate () in my javascript.

    $(function () {
        $("#form1").validate({
            rules: {
                ProductCategoryList: {
                    required: true
                }

            },
            messages: {
                ProductCategoryList: {
                    required: "This field is required"
                }
            }
        });
    });

The best I've seen is to use the jQuery form validation plugin:

 <p>
        <label for="ProductCategoryList">Product Categories</label>
        <%= Html.DropDownList("ProductCategoryList", ViewData["ProductCategories"] as SelectList)%>
    </p>

script

        $.validator.addMethod("selectNone",
            function (value, element) {
                return this.optional(element) || element.selectedIndex != 0;
            },
           "Please select an option."
        );


        $(function () {
            $("#form1").validate({
                rules: {
                    ProductCategoryList: {
                        selectNone: true
                    }

                },
                messages: {
                    ProductCategoryList: {
                        selectNone: "This field is required"
                    }
