I been going through this tutorial and it looks really good. So I went through it and downloaded the sample file.
I been playing around with it and I understand how to use it and was able to add my own validation too it.
So I decided to add it to my current project I am working on. I was able to get it to compile and run yet when I try my form no validation(both client side and server side) happens.
I don't know why. So I made a another project and tried to add all the stuff again yet I don't know what I am missing it does not work.
This is the only real way I can show you theirs too many files to copy and paste the code around.
I am not even using the remote validation part for my tests yet too. I am only using like straight stuff from xval like the one thing I had is "Required Email".
Edit now I get an error
System.IO.FileNotFoundException was unhandled by user code

InnerException:
I had a similar issue. I downloaded the Data Annotations Model Binder Sample, built, and referenced the new assemblies in my project. Worked like a charm.
