I'm using the module-level validator: 'PropertiesMustMatch' on my view-model, like so:

[PropertiesMustMatch("Password", "PasswordConfirm")]
public class HomeIndex
{
    [Required]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string Password { get; set; }

    public string PasswordConfirm { get; set; }
}

I'm noticing that if I submit the form without Name filled in, the ValidationSummary() helper returns only the following error:

• The Name field is required.

However, if I fill in Name, then ValidationSummary() will return a PropertiesMustMatch error:

• 'Password' and 'PasswordConfirm' do not match.

So it looks like the property-level validators are being evaluated first, then the model-level validators.

I would much prefer if they were all validated at once, and ValidationSummary would return:

• The Name field is required.
• 'Password' and 'PasswordConfirm' do not match.

Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

I'm studying the MVC 2 source-code to try to determine why this happens.
