Best way to do input validation when using Asp.Net Mvc 1.0, Json and jQuery Ajax

Question

The title says it all really. I went through a few blogs/posts and there are some good solutions for input validations in Mvc 1.0, but most of them are about non-Ajax scenarios, so I was wondering what your preferred method is when using jQuery Ajax? Thanks.

In asp.net mvc 1.0 you don't really have many options for validation. It is absolutely required to have server-side validation and I usually make my own custom validation. It is also good to have client side validatio that is easy to do with jQuery. There are several good projects for automated validation like MVCValidationToolkit and xVal that you can try.
