Disable Model Validation in Asp.Net MVC

Question

How do I disable Model validation for a single Action in a Controller ? Or can I do it per model by registering the model type at startup somewhere ?

I want the Mode

I would recommend you perform validation in both places rather than trying to turn off validation in the UI. I understand your point that the service cannot assume that it's being passed valid data - that is a valid concern and is the reason your service should have validation. But you should also have validation in your UI. This is also nice because you can have client-side validation to prevent user errors and give you users a better experience.
