Hi

I am trying to validate a dropdown with RequiredFieldValidator.

One of the list items is 'Please select' with a value of 0.

How can I validate whether they have selected this option?

Thanks

You can use the InitialValue property to validate against this value.

<asp:req... InitialValue="0" /> will fail if "Please Select" is the
active.

Make it's value an empty string.

The REquiredFieldValidator will then work on it just like if it was any
other HTML control
