    Below are the radio buttons are that I want to validate.

    I would like to display some red text under the radio buttons like the rest of the validation is doing. Or if that's not possible just a alert box would work as well. Any thoughts? Confused

                     'Determine radio selection for referral source
                    Dim referralMsg As String = "Referral Source: "
                    If referral1.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & referral1.Text
                    ElseIf referral2.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & referral2.Text
                    ElseIf referral3.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & referral3.Text
                    ElseIf referral4.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & referral4.Text
                    ElseIf referral5.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & referral5.Text & ": " & employeeName.Text
                    ElseIf referral6.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & referral6.Text & ": " & other.Text
                    End If
                    lblReferral.Text = referralMsg

     

    <td colspan="3"><asp:Label ID="lblReferral" runat="server" Text="Referral Source"></asp:Label>
    <br />
    <asp:RadioButton ID="referral1" runat="server" Text="Advertisement" GroupName="referral" />
    <asp:RadioButton ID="referral2" runat="server" Text="Employment Agency" GroupName="referral" />
    <asp:RadioButton ID="referral3" runat="server" Text="Walk-In" GroupName="referral" />
    <asp:RadioButton ID="referral4" runat="server" Text="Relative" GroupName="referral" />
    <br />
    <asp:RadioButton ID="referral5" runat="server" Text="Employee" GroupName="referral" />
    (name:
    <asp:TextBox ID="employeeName" runat="server" Width="100px" style="width:100px"></asp:TextBox>
    )
    <asp:RadioButton ID="referral6" runat="server" Text="Other" GroupName="referral" />
    <asp:TextBox ID="other" runat="server" Width="100px" style="width:100px"></asp:TextBox>

    There is no out of box validator but you can always use custom validator. you can find several examples on web.

    ok then. you can always use requiredfieldvalidator with radiobuttonlist.

            <asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonList1" runat="server" Height="76px" RepeatDirection="Horizontal"
                Style="z-index: 103; left: 20px; position: absolute; top: 164px" Width="56px">
                <asp:ListItem>One</asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem>Two</asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem>Three</asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem>Four</asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem>Five</asp:ListItem>
            </asp:RadioButtonList>

            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator2" runat="server" ControlToValidate="RadioButtonList1"
                ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator" Style="z-index: 107; left: 24px; position: absolute;
                top: 256px">Please Select Radio Button</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

    The code you provided does work Smile , I modified it a little.

            <asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonList1" runat="server" Height="76px" RepeatDirection="Horizontal">
                <asp:ListItem Text="Advertisement">Advertisement</asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem Text="Employment Agency">Employment Agency</asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem Text="Walk-In">Walk-In</asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem Text="Relative">Relative</asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem Text="Employee">Employee</asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem Text="Other">Other</asp:ListItem>           
            </asp:RadioButtonList>

            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator2" runat="server" ControlToValidate="RadioButtonList1"
                ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator">Please Select a Referral Source</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

    But I can't get to work with this code. And this code basically creates a variable so I can put it into a e-mail. 

                    'Determine radio selection for referral source
                    Dim referralMsg As String = "Referral Source: "
                    If RadioButtonList1.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & RadioButtonList1.Text
                    ElseIf RadioButtonList1.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & RadioButtonList1.Text
                    ElseIf RadioButtonList1.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & RadioButtonList1.Text
                    ElseIf RadioButtonList1.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & RadioButtonList1.Text
                    ElseIf RadioButtonList1.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & RadioButtonList1.Text & ": " & employeeName.Text
                    ElseIf RadioButtonList1.Checked = True Then
                        referralMsg = referralMsg & RadioButtonList1.Text & ": " & other.Text
                    End If
                    lblReferral.Text = referralMsg 
    This is the ERROR Message Crying
