This example demonstrates RadTreeView's validation support. By using a RequiredFieldValidator control you can verify that your users have selected a tree node: 
<telerik:RadTreeView runat="server" ID="RadTreeView1">
  <Nodes>
    <telerik:RadTreeNode Text="Node 1">
      <Nodes>
         <telerik:RadTreeNode Text="Node 1.1" />
         <telerik:RadTreeNode Text="Node 1.2" />
      </Nodes>
    </telerik:RadTreeNode>
  </Nodes>
</telerik:RadTreeNode>

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" 
 ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" 
 ControlToValidate="RadTreeView1"
 ErrorMessage="Please select a node" 
/>
RadTreeView can also can trigger validation. You can use the ValidationGroup property to specify the validation group that should be triggered.
