MaxLength Attribute not generating client-side validation attributes

Try using the [StringLength] attribute:

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Name is required.")]
[StringLength(40, ErrorMessage = "Name cannot be longer than 40 characters.")]
public string Name { get; set; }

That’s for validation purposes. If you want to set for example the maxlength attribute on the input you could write a custom data annotations metadata provider as shown in this post and customize the default templates.
