.net-4.0

I am building a WPF 4.0 Application using MVVM. The Model is generated using Entity Framework 4.0. I am using Data binding on the WPF to bind the user input to model properties.

What is the easiest way to validate user input ? I prefer an approach where I can set the validation rules on the Model rather than on the WPF itself. How can this be done? Any samples are appreciated.
