What do you mean by required validator? Do you mean the validator control to display the message or do you mean the data attribute to store the message in?

Hello munish,

For this you need to add one key property in your model. and bind your dropdownlist with that key property in view.

then add [Required(ErrorMessage="")] attribute above the property which is you have define in model. refer below quick example

In Model

public List<selectedlistitem> Values{get;set;}

[Required(ErrorMessage="Select the Value")]
public int KerProperty{get;set;}

In View

@Html.Dropdownfor(model=>model.KerProperty,Model.Values)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model=>model.KerProperty)
