You need to implement INotifyDataErrorInfo on your model and make sure that you have ValidatesOnDataErrors=True on the controls/properties that you need to validate. I can give you a code sample, but I think this does a better job than I can - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentmodel.inotifydataerrorinfo(v=vs.95).aspx. If you have questions, I'm happy to answer.
