title: Asp.net mvc models without databases/framework
body: <p>Are there any tutorials/examples on how to create an asp.net mvc app without the model being managed by a database (through linq2sql or entity framework).
  I've to create a frontend for a server which has a json based api. I would like to use mvc 3 or 2 and have most of the features of mvc still in place (like data annotation and validation).
  Any tutorials or examples on how to do this? I tried to search them but all examples i find are based on entity framework or linq.</p>
