Which MVC Validation Framework

I have been evaluating xVal as framework for validating Entities in the ASP.Net MVC Framework. I have recently discovered that each time a validation rule is broken, xVal cause an excpetion to be thrown. To me is seems incorrect. For example, when a user fills in a form, and forgets to fill three required fields , three exceptions will be thrown. Is this good practice? ( Edit: I also read this, so I guess its not good practice)

What are your experiences of using xVal? Is there good alternative validation framework that does not throw exceptions?

Thanks

(PS: I notice that lots of people are reading this, just to let you know I am using Fluent Validation now)
