I'm interested in setting up client side validation using a WinForms application and Entity Framework 5. I understand that there's the IValidatableObject interface that I can implement to perform and custom validation that I may need for each entity.
However, since I'm using WinForms I'd like to use the ErrorProvider to present the user with a nice notification when there is a validation error as they fill out a form. Is this functionality able to be achieved using the IValidatableObject interface or would I need to implement the IDataErrorInfo interface on my entities as well in order to have the ErrorProvider work properly?
If you have any other suggestions on a better alternative to this please let me know and I'll gladly look into that as well.
