Edit Form Validation

[Shehab]

Hello,
I couldn't find a way to validate text boxes in the EditFrom in RadGrid. Any direction will be helpful.
Thanks,
Shehab

Hi Shehab.
I am trying to do the same thing.  There's a link to show examples, but I can't get to work.  Let me know if you can...

This does not work for me.  Is there some property of the grid or something of that nature that will prevent the error message from displaying?  It does validate, but onlt on postback (still no message though).  I have two grids on the page.  The first one allows the user to select a row, when they do, I populate the grid below based on the user's selection and make it visible.  Any ideas?  Thanks

Hi Gary,
It worked for me, all you have to do is to create a GridTempleteColumn and creat a lable to view the data inside the ItemTeplate tags then create the EditItemTemplate with the textbox and the RequiredFieldValidator no code is required. Here is my aspx that worked, hope it helps you.

                <radG:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="FaxDep" SortExpression="FaxDep" UniqueName="TemplateColumn">
                        <HeaderStyle Width="80px" />
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblFaxDep" Text='<%# Eval("FaxDep") %>'></asp:Label>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                        <EditItemTemplate>
                            <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="tbFaxDep" Text='<%# Bind("FaxDep") %>'></asp:TextBox><span style="color: Red">*</span>
                            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" ControlToValidate="tbFaxDep"
                            ErrorMessage="This field is required" runat="server">
                            </asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                        </EditItemTemplate>
                </radG:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply and code.  My grid html looks like this, but no message displays, here's the grid, for sake of brevity, I removed other columns:
