To Solve it

Use enableProxyTypes method on your Organization Service proxy to fix it, here is the sample for generating organization service proxy properly:

OrganizationServiceProxy orgService = new OrganizationServiceProxy(organizationUri, homeRealmUri, credentials, null);

 orgService.EnableProxyTypes();

 orgService.Authenticate(); 

 IOrganizationService _service = (IOrganizationService)orgService;

CRM 2011 Validate required form using javascript

This code checks if form is valid for saving, by going over all required attributes and checking if it contains value.

function IsFormValidForSaving(){

var valid = true;
    Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.forEach(function (attribute, index) {
        if (attribute.getRequiredLevel() == "required") {
            if (attribute.getValue() == null) {
                if (valid) {
                    var control = attribute.controls.get(0);
                    alert(control.getLabel() + " Field is empty");
                    control.setFocus();
                }
                valid = false;
            }
        }
    });
    return valid;

}
