What is DetailsView.EnableModelValidation?

Question

The MSDN documentation on DetailsView.EnableModelValidation is very brief:

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether data-model validation is enabled.

Figuring out that true means enabled and false means disabled is simple, I could have found out even without the documentation.

What functionality is enabled with this setting and how is it used?
