Enabling Validation with ASP.NET MVC 2 and DataAnnotations

Let’s walkthrough a simple CRUD scenario with ASP.NET MVC 2 that takes advantage of the new built-in DataAnnotation validation support.  Specifically, let’s implement a "Create" form that enables a user to enter friend data:

We want to ensure that the information entered is valid before saving it in a database – and display appropriate error messages if it isn’t:

We want to enable this validation to occur on both the server and on the client (via JavaScript).  We also want to ensure that our code maintains the DRY principle (“don’t repeat yourself”) – meaning that we should only apply the validation rules in one place, and then have all our controllers, actions and views honor it.

Below I’m going to be using VS 2010 to implement the above scenario using ASP.NET MVC 2.  You could also implement the exact same scenario using VS 2008 and ASP.NET MVC 2 as well.
