Forms Data Controls :: A Required Input Field DropDownList If Old Records Have Null In This Field?
Apr 1, 2011
I have a DetailsView on the page and I have made one of the fields a TemplateField. In the EditItemTemplate and InsertItemTemplate I have a DropdownList that is databound to a table in my Sql Server database. I wanted to add an initial value to the DropdownList
namely "- select -" .
I set the AppendDataBoundItems property to true and added the initial value as a ListItem.Markup of the DropdownList
This works fine for new input. The problem is however that the database already has records that were entered through a Windows Application and many of these records has a null value in this field and exceptions are thrown when I tried to open these records
and the system tried to set the SelectedValue of the DropdownList.After some more searching I found this help
This now solved the problem of opening a record where the value is null in the database, BUT now the RequiredFieldValidator is not validating anymore to make sure that a databound item is selected for this field and not the initial value "- select -". So basically now it is not checking anymore to see if valid input has been entered for the DropDownList and it accepts "- select -" thus it acts as if the field is not a required field anymore.
In short what is required is that I want to make sure that the user enters a valid selection in the DropDownList, but it must also cater for old records that do not have this field entered yet so that those old records can be opened in the DetailsView .Opening Old records (with null in that field):When these old records are opened in the DetailsView the DropDownlist should show "- select -" when the value in the database is null.
Saving records (old or new records):When saving the record in Insert mode or Update mode the RequiredFieldValidator should show that a valid input is not selected if the DropDownList is still on "- select -".
I have an html input control that is a radio button. This radio button needs to disable required field validators when selected. This is my non working code so far. What have I not done?
My Required validation for a field doesn't work because even the user didn't input anything, the watermark text is sent to the server. What's the best way to handle this? I'm using jquery and asp.net mvc.
I have a aspx page with a ascx control inside an ascx control and the required field validator is not hit on the action of the page.
The issue is with the 2nd nested ascx control. The field validators in the first ascx control validate correctly, but with the ascx control inside the ascx control there are issues.
The nested ascx control is a repeater control and this may be the reason, but I am unsure.
I'm not exactly sure what question to ask, but I'll list a few below.
How do I attach the field validators up a level to the 1st ascx control?
Is it possible to put required fields into a nested ascx control?
I populate two dropdownlist in asp.net. Both are assigned to a required field validator.
The codebehind is as below
[Code]....
the designer code is as below
[Code]....
Now what happens is, when i choose a field from the dropdown and once again when i choose the "-- Select--", the validator appears and then disappears.Where am I going wrong?Why doesnt the validator stay?RegardsHema
I have Dropdownlist whose value field and text field are bind at runtime. it has --select-- as first item with a value of '0' and the rest of the values are bind at runtime.
I have given validaton group for both the control and the validator as "g1" and Intialvalue=0
But still the page is posting back even if I select '--select--' option.
Is it possible to make it so that a particular field in my gridview is made mandatory based on a session variable and the value of a dropdwnlist located outside of the grid itself...so
If Session("location") = "HOME" and DropDownList3.SelectedValue = ("5") then "fieldinmygridview" cannot be null (i.e is required) end if
i am using the required field validation and Reqularexpressioncontrol in gridview. Fields are in the gridview are in template, but only the edit button it is not templeted, this edit buton is of type Imagebutton and same goes with canel and update.
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.
I have a gridview on my aspx page having templatefields. In one of my templatefield i have a textbox with requiredfieldvalidator for validating input in textbox. I have another templatefield having checkbox in it. Now i want whenever user check the checkbox and then click on insert button, then first of all requiredfieldvalidor validates the textbox input for that particular row and then perform the insert operation. I m trying like this-My aspx code-
[Code]....
My C# Code-
[Code]....
But it doesnot validate and due to which insert operation throws an error-Input string was not in correct formatHow can i resolve it?
I have some controls on the asp.net page that can be required on certain senario and can be not required on others.
So we enable/disable them dinamaically depending on the current transactions.
Now I am thinking of a way where I can check the required field by Javascript on the click event of save button. Remember control not be required at all time.
I'm using Data Annotations to validate my fields, Eventhough field is marked with Required Attribute the DropdownList/ListBox Value doesn't fire up to show they are required. how can I solve this.
I have a repeater control and inseid it's ItemTemplate and AlternateItemTemplate, I have the following code (toy code):
[Code]....
The problem is, when I click the button it shows a '*' in front of every textbox in odd or even items, instead of validating only the textbox in that item.
How can I validate only the text box inside the item in which the button being clicked resides?
Is it possible to have "Required Field Validator" controls to validate more than one field (example I have 12 textboxes that are required. I want to try an avoid having 12 RFV controls. If a validation does get triggered, is there a way to display a customized message ("textA is empty" or "textB is empty") etc.?
I have some code where I need two separate required field validators for one control, both in separate validation groups which are then validated by two separate buttons.This approach works well when the buttons are clicked but both validators show if I enter a value in the textbox and then remove it.
Is there a way to turn this"lost focus" validation off? I only need it to validate when the buttons are clicked.
EDIT,Unfortunately, if I set EnableClientScript=false then I dont have any client notifications. What I want is for the dynamic error message to show (effectivly in the OnClientClick event of the button) but not the "lost focus" of the textbox.Is there some way I can disable or "unhook" the lostfocus client event?
EDIT,A combination dDejan's answer and womp's answeer here sorted the problem perfectly.
My final code looks like this (for anyone else with a similar situation)...
Javascript...
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() { [code]....
So, now there is no validation until a user clicks either the "Get Email Confirmation Code" button or the "Register" button. If they click the "Get Email Confirmation Code" button all of the controls validate apart from the textbox where the user is to input the email validation code and we only see one validator message.
If they click the "Register" Button then all of the controls validate and we only see one validation message.If either button is pressed, the user goes back, adds and then removes some text then we only see one validator. Before this change you used to see both messages saying the same thing.
I have a database, one field is named "clicked" with values 0 or 1.
When the gridview is displayed I would like to show the value from the field "clicked" to be displayed as an image (example: instead of 0 to display and for 1 to display)
I've tried to override error message when input incorrect data type in input field on HTML form.For example I have the model like this.

For view, I put text input for Age to get it value.When type some string in Age text box like 'test' and press submit button. I got this error message ,The value 'xxx' is not valid for AgeHowever, I want to change this message and try many way. There 's nothing effect this message value.
in my module there are data of students for H.S.C., C.E.T, AND H.S.C+C.E.T. so when i run the gridview page all the data of all streams together is displayed so i sort the data using a dropdownlist...means if 1 select the H.S.C in dropdownlist only the H.S.C students are being displayed.so the problem is when i sort the data by selecting a stream in dropdownlist at that time the error message of required field validator is displayed...
1) I wil select the stream from Dropdownlist and click the "sort button"
2) After the data is been sorted and i will enter the values in the TextBox and if i'll miss any of the textbox blank and i click on the "submit button" after dat the error should be displayed

I have 2 fields in my gridview one called ScriptType the other BagNo, when a user click the edit button, I would like the BagNo filed to be disabled if the ScriptType field is = "TTA" and enabled otherwise. How can I do this?..something along these lines see below..I am using VB..
I'm trying to use a field validator to make sure one of my list boxes has a selection before the user is able to proceed to the next page. i'm having is that if the validation message is triggered, all of the buttons on my page loose functionality.Meaning, if I purposely trigger the validation control, I can't get rid of the error message and none of my buttons do anything when clicke after this.
The majority of the HTML:
[Code]....
Is there something that I need to add to the code behind of the page or the Java Script that I'm using?
