+1  Q: 

Should I use MS Validation Application Block in an ASP.NET MVC app?

I know that the MS Validation Application Block can be used with ASP.NET MVC but I'm not sure if I should. It looks like it hasn't been updated since 2007 - which is probably fine - I'm just being extra cautious before adopting something new into my app that i haven't used before.

Is there any reason not to - or what does it do for me that is so great - or is there somethin upcoming I should wait for?

+2  A: 

Should be fine to use. There are some MVC projects that use it like xVal.

The Validation Application Block got updates in 4.1 as well. The link you have is to an older version. Find out more about 4.1 here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd140088.aspx
