HTML Validation Summary??

What am I missing here? I keep getting an error message asking if I have added the a call to the Validation Summary method.

Report.cshtml
@model IssueReporter.Models.Issue
@using IssueReporter.Models

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Report an Issue";
}

<h2>@ViewBag.Title</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{

    @Html.ValidationSummary();

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name)
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Email)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Email)
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DepartmentId)
        @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.DepartmentId, (SelectList)ViewBag.DepartmentsSelectListItems)
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Severity)
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Severity,
          Issue.SeverityLevel.Minor) @Issue.SeverityLevel.Minor
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Severity,
          Issue.SeverityLevel.Major) @Issue.SeverityLevel.Major
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Severity,
          Issue.SeverityLevel.Critical) @Issue.SeverityLevel.Critical
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.Reproducible) @Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.Reproducible)
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DescriptionOfProblem)
        @Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.DescriptionOfProblem)
    </div>

    <button type="submit">Save</button>
}

In "razor" syntax, you don't put a semicolon after a call to a helper method.
