Is there a IsRequired property on web controls

Question

I'm creating a edit view inwhich a user can create a article/document. In this edit view there are some fields that are required, but I can't see where you define that a field is required.

For example in a TextField, if this TextField has to be filled in how can you check that it is when the page is saved?

Thanks

You could use the standard ASP.NET Validation Controls like the <asp:RequiredFieldValidator /> control.

<asp:TextBox ID="foo" runat="server"/>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="fooValidator" ControlToValidate="foo" 
     Text="Field foo is required." runat="server"/>
