Kendo grid foreignkey column validation

[David]

I unable to validate the dropdownlist if the user select "Please select" value when the update button is clicked

I have inline editing grid implementing foreign key column. In the foreignKey.cshtml i also add the option label ("Please select").


View in grid:
columns.ForeignKey(p => p.EmployeeID, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["testStatus"], "EmployeeID", "EmployeeName");

//Model:
 [Required(ErrorMessage = "Required")]
 [DisplayName("Employee ")]
 [UIHint("GridForeignKey")]
 public int EmployeeID { get; set; }

//Shared/GridForeignKey.cshtml

@(
 Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
        .Name(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName(""))
        .BindTo((SelectList)ViewData[ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName("") + "_Data"])
        .OptionLabel("Select value")

)

Thanks Petur. 

It seems my GridForeignKey column is incorrect. I follow your sample and work perfectly
