This is the beginning of the series which will help you learn how to implement validation in MVC page. I will try to cover step by step each corner of validation in AngularJS and at the end of last part you will understnad how validation in MVC can be implemented using AngularJS. Although MVC has its own validation framework which is even simpler than AngularJS, I am discussing the additional way which you can implement it. So before starting let me clear up some of the following states to the for each input field.

This states are as below.

State	When the state is changed
$untouched	True : If field changes the state changes
$touched	True : The field has been touched
$pristine	True: If the field has not been modified yet False: If the field has been modified
$dirty	True : The field has been modified False : The field has been not modified
$invalid	True : The field content is In-valid False : The field content is valid
$valid	True : The field content is valid False : The field content is In-valid

My Layout page as below,

<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>
@Styles.Render("~/Content/css")

<span ng-show="myForm.Student.$error.required">Student Name is required.</span>
</span>
</p>
<p>Student Email:<br>
<input type="email" name="email" ng-model="email" required>
<span style="color:red" ng-show="myForm.email.$dirty && myForm.email.$invalid">
