    PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
    This example demonstrates how to make the Room resource required in the Custom Advanced form.

    Generally, the validation for the resources ComboBox is not fired when saving the form because the ComboBox validation group is not the same as the one of the Save button. The validators for the subject and dates have their ValidationGroup properties set in the InitializeStrings() method of the AdvancedFormCS.ascx.cs/AdvancedFormVB.ascx.vb file. 

    One option to overcome this issue is setting the ValidationGroup property in the InitializeStrings() method as follows:

    AdvancedFormCS.ascx/AdvancedFormVB.ascx file:

    <%-- RESOURCE CONTROLS --%>
    <li class="rfbRow">
        <!-- Resource controls should follow the convention Res[Resource Name] for ID -->
        <scheduler:ResourceControl runat="server" ID="ResRoom" Type="Room" Label="Room" />
      <asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ID="ResourceValidator" ControlToValidate="ResRoom$ResourceValue" InitialValue="-"
            EnableClientScript="true" Display="None" CssClass="rsValidatorMsg" />
    </li>


    ResourceContolCS.ascx/ResourceContolVB.ascx     file:


    <    asp:Label runat="server" ID="ResourceLabel" AssociatedControlID="ResourceValue" Text='<%# Label %>' CssClass="rfbLabel" />
    <telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="ResourceValue" CssClass="rsAdvResourceValue" Skin='<%# Skin %>' RenderMode="Lightweight" />

    AdvancedFormCS.ascx.cs file:

    private void InitializeStrings()
    {
        ResourceValidator.ErrorMessage = "Choose a resource";
        ResourceValidator.ValidationGroup = Owner.ValidationGroup;
        // other validators here
    }

    AdvancedFormVB.ascx.vb file:

    Private Sub InitializeStrings()
        ResourceValidator.ErrorMessage = "Choose a resource"
        ResourceValidator.ValidationGroup = Owner.ValidationGroup
        ' other validators here
    End Sub


    Another option is setting it directly in the markup:

    <asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ID="ResourceValidator" ControlToValidate="ResRoom$ResourceValue" InitialValue="-" EnableClientScript="true" Display="None" ValidationGroup='<%# Owner.ValidationGroup %>' CssClass="rsValidatorMsg" />
