The following example demonstrates the validation mechanism(s) which can be used with the RadListVeiw control. The validation controls (required valiators/custom validators) are added to the related EditItemTemplate and InsertItemTemplate. Essentially, the example shows how to properly link the validation controls to the edit or insert controls of the RadListView control, as well as how to dynamically enable/disable the validation, or change the validation group.
