RequiredFieldValidator to validate RadioButtonList
RequiredFieldValidator validation control make an asp.net web server input control as like a mandatory field.
input control validation fails if the value of control does not change from it's initial value. so it will
be a required field (input control) for submit web form. user must be input some value to pass the validation.
you cannot pass a validation by only entered space. you can set the requiredfieldvalidator InitialValue property
to select another item except initial value for passing validation. you can set the ErrorMessage
property value to display error message when validation failed.
