[DotNetDevelopment] MVC View - No model ?

[Karl Oakes]

Maybe I am looking at this the wrong way... I'll explain, I have a very 
simple form with a single input that will require validation. Do I need to 
create a model/viewmodel to represent this model and then setup up a 
strongly typed view and then use Model validation. Or can I setup view with 
no model, if so where do I validate, the controller, which just seems wrong. 
I think I have answered my own question but would like some advice..
