View 1 Repliesin aspx i written as follows
<ajaxToolkit:ComboBox ID="cmbAddressAlias" runat="server" DropDownStyle="Simple" AutoCompleteMode="Suggest" CaseSensitive="false" AutoPostBack="true" RenderMode="Inline" Width="170px" CssClass="cmbProvince" OnSelectedIndexChanged="cmbAddressAlias_SelectedIndexChanged"> </ajaxToolkit:ComboBox>
it binding correctly(datasource dynamically binded) and it raises event too while changing index but it is not raising event when we manually clearing the combobox text..if currently combobox having text "ASP" then i manually select that entire text and using del key i am deleting but it is not raising event for me.. when i change index it automatically raising event...i need to raise event while combobox is empty...
I have the following items bound to my combobox:
Value: 1, Text: SNS
Value: 2, Text: ING
Value: 3, Text: ING
Choosing value 1 results in a SelectedValue of 1
Choosing value 2 results in a SelectedValue of 2
Choosing value 3 results in a SelectedValue of 2
does the combobox has as a disadvantage that the Text has to be unique?
I have a about 6 or 7 text boxes which needs to be validated to make sure they are not empty from server side code. So how I usually do this is, check each textbox 1 by 1 to ensure that they are not empty. Are there any other efficient methods to do this? I have searched on SO and have found out that adding all the textboxes to a list and using a for each is a much better method. Are there any other ways that this can be achieved? Thanx a lot in advance :)
View 2 RepliesI wonder how to validate if a inserted item in a Combobox exists in a database during postback? If the item.text exists, a errormessage should notify the user that the item already exists in the database. If the item does not exists in the database a inserting should be done.
Should i use the customvalidator and create a servervalidationfunction that searches my databasetable for the item name?
Should i validate inside one of the two ComboBox control events, ItemInserting and ItemInserted?
After validating the existence i would like to validate if the inserting to the database was successfull.
I have a problem with the Ajax ComboBox from the Ajax Control ToolKit. When I want to erase the text in the ComboBox, I got this error:
"Microsoft JScript runtime error: '_optionListItems[...].text' is null or not an object". I only get this error when deleting the content of the Combox is the first action I do on the ComboBox. If I overwrite the text by entering something else before deleting this text, I got no error.
Is there a way to programmatically select the entire string of the selected item in the AJAX Combobox?What I'm trying to do is bascially on a State/City selection.
1. User selects a State from the first combobox. This triggers the City combobox to be populated. The item(0) is "Select One:".
2. I want the entire "Select One:" to be hightlight as if the user had used their mouse and highlighted all the text.
The reason for this that I'd like the user to be able to start typing the city without needing to clear out the "Select One:" manually.
When the WebPage loads i would like for the Text to be cleared in Ajax ComboBox and/or DropDownList. However Setting the text to nothing or null doesn't seem to work. So I did some searching and found this...
[Code]....
Is there another way to clear the text other then adding a null item to the list? I don't really want the user to have a selection of "null", this seems like a hack job.
I am using the combo box for my project and I am having some odd behaviour from combobox...
i am using this combobox inside a formview control...once i click on combobox it is showing the list items at the bottom of formview not next to combobox control...I think it is taking the top and left values from formview offset.
I'm try to add a combobox to my form which i have done and populate it with the infomation i need but i want to stop the user from being able to edit the first 5 character in the textbox part of the combo box( 1 is this possible 2 am i going about it in the right way).
I have 3 columns fro a db to enter ips ie 123.456.7.89 at the start if each number i want (SE1)(SE2)(SE3) which i can do at the momment . So I get in the combobox list 3 items with (SE1)123.456.7.89 OR just (SE1) depending of i a result is returned from the DB. However i don't want the user to be able to edit out the (SE?) part of the sting in the textbox. When editing i've tried used the text change event to try and capture the change and make sure the string.length > 5 , but the event does not fire also when i leave the combobox it it adds to the combox list. If I refersh it goes back to how it should be with only the 3 items.
I have a gridview with two bound fields. On clicking a button i want to display the values in first row of gridview in two textboxes. But if gridview cell is empty i am getting the text in textbox to which the value of cell is given as -' 'i know my problem will be solved if i use the template fields instead. But i want a solution while maintaining the bound fields ,if any.
View 2 RepliesI am building a Web Content form in which the user enters some data in asp:TextBoxes, and presses submit to store the data in the database.
I am using an Upadate Panel, in which I have put the afore mentioned asp:TextBoxes. Is there a way to set TextBox.Text = string.Empty after the submit?
Note that I have implemented code, which sets my TextBox.Text = string.Empty in my aspx.cs file, which of course does not work since I am using the update panel with an AsyncPostBackTrigger...

View 7 RepliesI want That validate the textbox so this no be empty I put that
"[ws]{1,50}"
But I want that the error mark when the textbox be empty.
I would like to validate the textbox for specific text and it must not be blank. But the regular expression validator is not validating if the text box is BLANK. However, it validates if I type something in the text box.
How can I make regular expression to trigger even if the text box is empty?
Should I use Required Validator + Regex Validator at the same time?
<asp:TextBox ID="txtcard" runat="server" MaxLength="16"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator2" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtcard" ErrorMessage="Please type credit card no"
ValidationExpression="^d{16}$"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
I need to validate textbox is not empty if check box is checked.

How do I capture the combo box text in a controller?
I have a problem with CascadingDropDown... I have two related comboboxes, where the second is a slave of the first (e.g. country the first, cities the second). What I want is that if I select one country from combobox 1 then the second must be "filtered" by that selection (it should display all the cities inside the selected country, and the actual CascadingDropDown implementation is OK), but if I leave the combobox 1 in the default option (e.g. "Please select a country") I want the second to display all the cities I have in the database. The problem is that when selecting default option for combobox 1 the second combobox is disabled and a postback to my webservice never occurs.

How do you refresh a combo box from clicking on something from another Combobox (using Visual Basic).
I don't want to use a button for this as i know it works that way by using .Databind() on the other combobox.
In access it is so easy by using the click event on a combo box but visual studio does not seem to use it.
I'm working on an ASP.NET/C# app.
I have 2 text boxes and I need to validate if the input text for both of them are not both null
ex:
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) && string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox2.Text) ) //FAIL!!! else
that is, at least one txtBox has values
I was planning on using a custom validator but it seems that the validation function only gets called when something is written on the textBox i'm using has the 'control to validate'. Now, that doesn't work for me since I want to show an error message when both text boxes are empty. Is there a way to make the validation function to be called with, for example a postback? Or is there any other better approach to this case than the custom validator?
