Another Problem Solved By Someone Better Than Me

Ok, this is one of those woods-for-the-trees situations. Basically, I had been mucking about with custom model binders:

And had added a class attribute to my model class to handle the post back binding of the model. This worked fine. The following, however, I forgot about this and was trying to use the default server-side validation.

Problem: The server-side validation was not working.

Solution: Remove the custom model binder.

Reason: It was returning just an empty model object every time.

This solved a host of problems, in fact.
