  <select class="form-control" asp-items="ViewBag.Market"></select>

  Sep 28, 2019 02:53 AM|kvic|LINK

  <label asp-for="Market" class="control-label"></label>
     <div class="input-group mb-3">
       <div class="input-group-prepend">
          <a asp-controller="Markets" class="btn btn-outline-secondary" id="button-addon1">Add</a>
        </div>
       <select class="form-control" asp-items="ViewBag.Market"></select>
       <span asp-validation-for="Market" class="text-danger"></span>
     </div>

  If I provide a option Value for the user to select a vlaue:

  <select class="form-control" asp-items="ViewBag.Market">
     <option>Select</option>
  </select>

  The validation will not trip as the form will accept "Select" as the user value;

  It would be great if the Data Annotations work with the select control but that doesn't  happen:

  [Display(Name = "Market", Description = "The Market Name.", Prompt = "Market Name", ShortName = "Market Name", Order = 1)]
  public string Market { get; set; }

  I would like a way to trip the validation on the view before going to the server if the selection is Select?

  Set value to blank and only the text to “Select” of the option.
