GridDropDownList Validation

[JSON]

I have an issue validating GridDropDownList - it does not validate as other controls do. I have created a custom validator in the code behind but it does not fire when no value selected.

Thank you,

Hello Steve,

It seems that you are missing the validation group setting from RequiredFieldValidator declaration.
