I need to make one grid column as the mandatory field.

I know how to make it with any separate control. E.g. I can type:

<sq8:GridBoundColumn DataField="txtField" HeaderText="txtField"SortExpression="txtField" UniqueName="txtField" FilterControlAltText="">
<ColumnValidationSettings>
<RequiredFieldValidator ForeColor=""></RequiredFieldValidator>
</ColumnValidationSettings>
</sq8:GridBoundColumn>

 

And I can use this Validator for the TextBox:

<sq8:Label runat="server" Text="Field:" ID="Label1" Width="100%"></sq8:Label>
<nobr>
<sq8:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtField" Width="100%"></sq8:TextBox>
<sq8:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator" ID="RequiredFieldValidator4" ControlToValidate="txtField" SetFocusOnError="True">*</sq8:RequiredFieldValidator>
</nobr>
<sq:BindableControl runat="server" TargetControlID="txtField"DataField="txtField"></sq:BindableControl>

 

And it works. User can't send the form because he gets an error - the field is empty.

But I need to do the same with .

When I open "Edit columns" in Grid Wizard I can't see any property as "mandatory" or something like this.
And the code with RequiredFieldValidator doesn't work with a grid column. If I try to use it:

<Columns>
<sq8:GridBoundColumn DataField="txtFieldGrid" HeaderText="txtFieldGrid" SortExpression="txtFieldGrid" UniqueName="txtFieldGrid" FilterControlAltText="">
<sq8:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator" ID="RequiredFieldValidator4" ControlToValidate="txtFieldGrid" SetFocusOnError="True">*</sq8:RequiredFieldValidator>
<sq:BindableControl runat="server" TargetControlID="txtFieldGrid"DataField="txtFieldGrid"></sq:BindableControl>
</sq8:GridBoundColumn>
</Columns>

 

In this case, I have an error (look at screenshot)

Is there some method for grid column validation? Or it's impossible with a grid?
