RadCombo requiredfield validator not working

[Adam Hubble]

Hi, I have a radcombo in a detailsview and a requiredfield validator setup to validate the radcombo. The initial value of the validator is set to "0" and the onload selected value of the radcombo is also "0". However, the validator control does not throw an error when the combo value is still "0" i.e. the user has not selected a value, but on postback the validator is ignored. Without changing any functional code, I exchanged the radcombo for an asp dropdownlist and the requiredfield validator fired as expected. Is there a workaround or is this a bug with the radcombo?

Thanks,
Matt
