I have a an ASP.NET MVC2 application, with Linq2SQL, that updates a database without using the UpdateModel. Is it still possible to trigger validation without using UpdateModel?

A:
Validation is built into the default model binder. So there is no need to call UpdateModel or anything else to trigger the validation.

I have a custom validation using data annotations with a buddy class. This only triggers when I call UpdateModel.

@Danny, Can you please show your code? The only thing UpdateModel does is use the model binder and the binder itself handles the validation. So there shouldn't be any difference.
