It seems to me that any method of input I provide for a user needs some scrutiny, but I have never seen someone implement a single set of validation that all inputs must pass.
Is there some basic validation you do on every single field a user can type in to? For the sake of simplicity let's just talk about text boxes.
Do you add any code to watch for control characters?
I am trying to figure out what are the basic assemblies required to run a basic ASP.NET 4.0 website. Say.. a website with just a label in it. I looked online and didn't find a list there. I know installing the framework 4.0 will give me all the dlls but I just need the basic ones that will make a basic site work on ASP.NET 4.0.

On EDITION form I have only fields: 'title' and 'message' (without field 'link'), but for 'link' is still triggered validation. How can I exclude 'link' from validation in action. I have tried:

I have a form in MVC3 that includes a check box to copy data if it is the same as a previous form. If the checkbox is checked, it populates the text box with the content from the hidden field. Here's a sample to illustrate what I'm doing:
[Code]....
When the box is checked, it calls FillInfo(), which uses DHTML to fill the TextBox called "ThisInfo" with the value of the hidden field "DefaultInfo."
Here's the problem: if the form fails validation (e.g. "ThisInfo" is a required field and is left blank), the hidden "DefaultInfo" box is getting cleared out -- which I DON'T want it to do. As a result, when the checkbox is clicked, it is copying empty data into the "ThisInfo" field.
How can I establish validation on form fields such that upon submit button, fields that do not follow validation change their background colour?

If I have a search object with a list of fields, can I, using the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespace, set it up to validate that at least one of the fields in the search is not null or empty? i.e All the fields are optional but at least one should always be entered.
View 2 RepliesI've got an ASP.NET 4 site on which I want to allow people to put '<' in their password. However, .NET gets in the way by blocking (what it sees as) an attempt to put HTML in a form field. I know I can turn off input validation entirely, but I only want to turn it off for this one field. Does anyone know an easy way to do that?

I'm trying to user ValidatorCalloutExtender on my login page but I'm having some trouble with it. I have two TextBoxes, two RequiredFieldValidators and two ValidatorCalloutExtenders. Here's my page's code:
[Code]....
So, my problem is quite simple, I guess. When the user press "ButtonLogin", the first ValidatorCallout is displayed requesting that the user enter his username. The validation text for the password field isn't displayed. If I enter the username and then try to post the form again, the validation text for the password isn't displayed at all. The text is displayed only after I click on TextBoxPassword. Is there any way to solve this? If I wasn't using ValidatorCalloutExtender, text for both validators would be displayed. So, I'm guessing that internally both validators actually trigger. The second isn't displayed because the first one is already been displayed. But even after entering text on the first textbox, the text doesn't come up. I believe it's still thinking that the first validator is been displayed.
I have studied Phil Haack's post [URL]about custom validation, however, I can not get this to work for my case. I need something like the "PropertiesMustMatch" validator in a default MVC2 project generated by Visual Studio.
None of my custom javascript gets called. I am registering the custom adapter in Application_Start using DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider.RegisterAdapter(....). In the DataAnnotationsModelValidator derived class, GetClientValidationRuls is never even called.
What is going on here? Maybe this type of validation where your validation attribute has to be applied to a class, not a propety, does not yet work with the RTM release of Visual Studio 2010.

1_ Do i have to use the Templeted fields for edit/cancel/ and update as well in order to use the validation?
2_Validaiotn should only work when user clicks on the Update button, it should not trigger when cancel button fired.

If I click submit without entering anything in the input field, I get validation messages i.e. The Rating field is required or if I enter non-numeric data, I get The field Rating must be a number.
I didn't wire this and wanted to understand where this is coming from.
I am creating a fairly straight forward form for collecting data about vendors. I have a requirement that says the email address is required for a certain payment method and not other payment methods. The way I currently have this implemented is using a dropdownlist for the payment method and a TextBox for the email. I have been using ValidatorCalloutExtenders on all the other input fields with great success, but this is the first case where I need to be able to turn the validator and extender behavior on and off based on a selection of the dropdownlist.
I have tried many things and have searched these forums and google until my hands and eyes got tired, but have yet to find success, hence this post. I am aware of the dispose and $create methods, and that is currently what I am trying to do, but after the create occurs, while the behavior has been created, it doesn't seem like it has been created completely or something. To implement this, I am using a function tied to the onChange Event Handler of the drop down list. The function essentially checks the dropdownlist selection value and if it is NOT "ACH", then it finds the behavior attached to the requiredfieldvalidator attached to the email textbox and calls the dispose method on that behavior, if the selection value IS "ACH" then the method calls
$create(AjaxControlToolkit.ValidatorCalloutBehavior, { "closeImageUrl": "/VendorMaintenanceForm/WebResource.axd?d=IJFIM0l1l2KBLbEjcc5eS12jNidTRT60rU5Tz_Vg2CIJnYpw0GWOKDcVthhDzk9qkoREy7KswErAqM-kEQdJ5c18thtoit9YPZB3oq-EKdE1&t=633129167627987742", "highlightCssClass":
"HighLight", "id": 'emVal', "warningIconImageUrl": "/VendorMaintenanceForm/WebResource.axd?d=IJFIM0l1l2KBLbEjcc5eS12jNidTRT60rU5Tz_Vg2CIJnYpw0GWOKDcVthhDzk9qpoLKUlLQVCOCBk1mUhtC-YfwF57Tw0d676WGnnWiYI41&t=633129167627987742", "width": "300px" }, null, null,
$get("ctl00_MainContent_RequiredFieldValidator5"));
The reason I say this, is because once the page loads, the default value is to have the validator disabled, then if I select the payment method that enables the validator, it seems to work fine, but then if I cycle through the payment method choices again, I end up with a null pointer exception to the TextBox element when the validator is trying to apply the highlightCssClass on form validation. So, to summarize, it seems like when the page loads, things get built correctly, but then when I start doing the dispose and $create, things are recreated correctly so that when the submit button click causes validation, the validator throws a null pointer exception.
I know it can be hard to debug this sort of thing using words, but I was just wondering if I am going about this the right way or if there is an easier way to conditionally enable/disable a requiredfieldvalidator and validatorcalloutextender.
Is it possible that i can use same validation rules more than one time on same field in jquery ?
For ex. if i have one textbox and i want to validate it. can i use two regular expression which can be checked one after another ?
