ASP.NET MVC 2 LINQ-to-SQL generated classes and Model Validation?

I think it is a best practice to have a ViewModel (what you termed "shadow" model) that is used to pass only relevant data model information to a view and incorporating UI validation metadata. You can also use a library such as AutoMapper to copy over the values, rather than coding each one by hand.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
