ASP.NET Mobile RequiredFieldValidator Control
 Complete ASP.NET Mobile 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 null.
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.

Example 1
The following example contains two forms in an .aspx file. The first form has
a label with the text "Please enter a number from 1 through 100", an input box to input
a number, a RangeValidator control that checks that the input value is a number
from 1 through 100, a RequiredFieldValidator control that checks that the input
field isn't empty, and a submit button. The second page is activated by the
submit button on the first page, and displays a response. If the input value
validates as an error, an error message is displayed:
<%@ Page
Inherits="System.Web.UI.MobileControls.MobilePage"%>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="Mobile"
Namespace="System.Web.UI.MobileControls"
Assembly="System.Web.Mobile" %>
<script runat="server">
sub page2(Sender as Object,E as EventArgs)
if Page.IsValid then
ActiveForm=f2
lbl2.Text="You entered number " & txt1.text
end if
end sub
</script>
<Mobile:Form id="f1" runat="server">
<Mobile:Label runat="server">
Please enter a number from 1 through 100
