ASP.NET RequiredFieldValidator Control
 Complete Validation Control Reference
Definition and Usage
The RequiredFieldValidator control is used to make an input control a
required field.
With this control, the validation fails if the input value does not change from its
initial value. By default, the initial value is an empty string
("").
Note: Leading and trailing spaces of the input value are
removed before validation.
Note: The InitialValue property does not set the default value for the
input control. It indicates the value that you do not want the user to
enter in the input control.
