Asp.Net MVC Validation

Ok I've spent a lot of time reading all the various blog posts on Validation. We are currently in the middle of writing an app in MVC 2.0 and noticed the Model Validation Providers, can anyone provide any examples or links to good solid examples?

Cheers

This is an excellent example of the new jQuery validation provider (which is currently the default) in MVC 2 Preview 2 - http://blogs.msdn.com/rickandy/archive/2009/10/03/client-side-validation-for-mvc-2-p2.aspx

Is this a Model Validation Provider?
Pino  2009-10-07 12:49:25
Yes, the baked in jQuery validator is based on the Model Validation Provider. You can create your own, or get others and simply plug them in.

ok cool, how would you go about server validation as well? Javascript validation is kinda out of the question because of the nature of the app.
Pino  2009-10-07 12:51:54
The MVC 2 preview 2 validation does *both* client and server validation. The server validation is done during model binding.
Craig Stuntz  2009-10-07 13:25:58
As Craig said, it handles both. The client-side validation is just sugar, the ModelState is still used server side.
