Is the DataTypeAttribute validation working in MVC2?

Question

As far as I know the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.DataTypeAttribute not works in model validation in MVC v1. For example,

public class Model
{
  [Da

Alternatively, you can directly use RegularExpression attribute on your field instead of creating your own attribute that is in the end going to check for a regex matching.

[RegularExpression(@"\w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*", ErrorMessage = PaErrorMessages.InvalidEmailAddress)]
public string Email { get; set; }
