RadDatePicker not validating with RequiredFieldValidator

[Mark Oliver]

Hi there,

I have an ASP.net wizard control, with a RadDatePicker on one of the steps. I have added a RequiredFieldValidator as per this documentation. 

Unfortunately, the validator isn't firing when I enter an invalid date, and I can move to the next step in the wizard. If I move to the next step, then return to the previous step and enter an invalid date, it then fires.

My code for the RadDatePicker and Validator is as below:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="rdpMAEDROut" Runat="server" Culture="en-US">
    <Calendar UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False" UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False"
            ViewSelectorText="x" daynameformat="Short" showrowheaders="False"></Calendar>
    <DatePopupButton ImageUrl="" HoverImageUrl=""></DatePopupButton>
    <DateInput DisplayDateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy" DateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy"
            emptymessage="dd/mm/yyyy" CssClass="RDPInvalid"></DateInput>
</telerik:RadDatePicker>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator CssClass="RequiredFieldValidator"
        ID="rfvMAEDROut" runat="server"
     ControlToValidate="rdpMAEDROut"
        ErrorMessage="You must enter a valid value in this field." ></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated :)

Hello Mark,

I tried to replicate the described issue using your code but to no avail. Please find attached a sample project which works as expected on my side. test it locally and let me know what the difference in your case is.

Thanks Maria, I discovered that my problem was occurring when I entered an invalid date, cleared it and entered a valid date, then cleared it again and entered an invalid date. It would then let me through to the next page. I have upgraded to the latest version of the controls, and this seems to have fixed it.
