[Solved] "---Select---" with required field validation

[vishesh kumar]

Hi,

I have the following requirements:

1. Need to display the default "---Select---" item. (this is being set using the empty message property)

2. this field is required.

So in order to use the empty message property, I need to set the "Allow custom text" = true property.

But in this case, the user is allowed to type in any arbit value into the combobox and bypass the required field validation.

Please let me know how to do go about achieving this?

Thanks

You can do it in the CS file like this:

radComboBox1.intems.insert(0,new Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItem("please select...", ""));

Please take a look at this topic about Insert a default item when databinding RadComboBox.
