Regarding the comment on Error string, IDataErrorInfo and the Html.ValidationMessage, you can display object level vs. field level error messages using:

Html.ValidationMessage("address", "Error")

Html.ValidationMessage("address.PostalCode", "Error")

In your controller decorate the post method handler parameter for the object with [Bind(Prefix = "address")]. In the HTML, name the input fields as such...

I don't generally use the Html helpers. Note the naming convention between id and name.
