Web Forms :: Custom Validation Only Works For FileUpload Control
Oct 12, 2010
I have 2 custom validator controls on my page but for some strange reason the Custom Validator for FileUpload control works and the custom validator for TextBox control does not work. Here is the aspx code:
I have a strange thing going on with the .net fileupload control. If I remote desktop to the server that houses the web app and db server, I am able to upload files and store them into a varbinary(max) column.
However, when clients connect to the web server from their desktop, then can do all the things they need to such as browsing web pages, fill out forms that store/save data to the database, etc.
However, when they try to upload a pdf to the sever, the following exception occurs: The web app uses .net 3.5, the db is sql 2005, and code is c#. And insights would be welcomed. Code and Exception below.
i have a file upload control to upload picture.i want the user can only upload picture not any other file .when i used file upload control ,user can insert word file also,this should not be done.user can only insert pictures,otherwise message should be appear,like--"please upload valid format"
Actually i am using JavaScript validation for Image or Word or Excel File & its working perfectly. My aim is making its full professional.
For Example When you use Photoshop and open any file you see only those extension which are applicable for Photoshop i.e. jpg, jpeg bmp, psd, png etc. You never see .doc, .xls or any other which are not open with Photoshop. This is i want to do, When i open for an Image it should show only Image Type file extension in file type By default its its showing All Files, As i use extension validation in JavaScript, it never accept .doc or .xls files in Image Type Validation but it will show. I want only that file type show for which i open.

I have a file upload control and a custom validator to check the file size.
When the file size is small and when I hit upload button it hits the breakpoint on the custom validator BUT strangely when the file size is big it does NOT hit the custom validator and see the following IE error.
I am working on ASP.NET3.5 platform. I have used a file upload control and a asp button to upload a file. Whenever i try to upload a file which contain special characterlike (file#&%.txt) it show crash and give the messeage "Server Error in 'myapplication' Application." A potentially dangerous Request.Files value was detected from the client (filename="...New Text &#.txt"). Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this case.
Exception Details: System.Web.HttpRequestValidationException: A potentially dangerous Request.Files value was detected from the client (filename="...New Text &#.txt"). Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below. how can i prevent this crash using javascript at client side?
I have a little doubt about creating a login control in the master page within a contentplaceholder.
What i want is to create my own login control in the masterpage, using a loginview inside a contentplaceholder. The code is the following:
[Code]....
So far so good, but now i want to create the logic to do the actual login. In a regular aspx page i'll do it in the cmdlogin click event, but as i'm in the masterpage, i'm not sure if i can do that. I actually tried to do it in the code behind of the masterpage, but it didn't work. What can do?? do i ahve to use the asp.net login control?
I have a custom user control with some input fields and a submit button. I need to validate the fields using the jquery validation plugin when the submit button is clicked. (The function of the submit button is to create another custom control which displays the data entered in the above mentioned control)
Bt as far as I knw, validation plugin works only with form validation ryt? And my custom control does not contain a form tag as I am using master pages. The custom control is present in one of the content pages and the master page already contains a form tag with a runat=server attribute. And I guess one page can contain only a single form tag with runat=server attrib ryt?
I am creating a custom 'control' which is simply made of two html inputs [type=text] but can't figure out how the validation will work on the view end.
I want to treat these 2 inner controls as asingle control so when a error is added to modelstate both of these inputs are highlighted in the view and a single validation message is shown.
I've written a custom ASP.net control that descends from LinkButton and overrides the Render() method. I'm using it to replace ImageButtons in the site I'm working on so we don't have to have an image for each button. This control works fine, does the required post-backs etc., however it doesn't fire the validators in its validation group. This is obviously an issue. The code for the control is (condensed) as follows:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
Does anyone know why this would not be causing the validators to fire? I was under the impression that leaving all the other methods in LinkButton un-overridden would leave all the other functionality the same.
I want to validate and save the image along with other form value upon "registerBtn_click" , but the custom validation control of the image does not activate somehow... why?
I'm trying to add a validation support to DropDownList by creating a custom control inheriting from DropDownList:
public class MyDropDown: DropDownList, INamingContainer { private const string ValidatorID = "Validator"; private RequiredFieldValidator _validator;
[Code]....
My class implements INamingContainer because I wanted to avoid naming conflicts. Unfortunately when I try using this control I get the following exception:
Unable to find control id 'MDD' referenced by the 'ControlToValidate' property of 'MDD_Validator'
This is happening beause for INamingContainer FindControl(NamingContainerId) returns null.
When I remove INamingContainer implementation and set validator ID in the following way:
i want to upload particular image file in asp.net and i m using regularexpressionvalidation but there is some error occurs so please help me.. i m using this syntex..
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="FileUpload1" ErrorMessage="Only .jpg,.gif,.png files are allowed..." ValidationExpression="[^.].jpg$"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
I have a textbox in my application which has multiple validation on it e.g. RequiredFieldValidator, RegexValidation and CustomValidation. My page has several similar textboxes. So I just copy-paste and change id and controltovalidate properties and it is working.
Since similar tbxs are going to be used on another page as well, I think it would be nice to create my own custom TextBox control with built-in validation.
Here are two approaches I have found and tried:
1: Implement from IValidator perform my custom validation in Validate Method. As shown here: Self-Validating TextBox But it does not show how to implement client-side validation.
2: Create custom control that derives from TextBox and add asp.net built-in validators I need. As shown here:Custom TextBox. I tried the code and it works server/client side.
I like the first approach but don't know how to implement client-side validation. I know I need a client-side js function. I can do that. I know how to include my js file using Page.ClientScript class but don't know how to integrate all together and make it work.
I can create a UserControl or the second approach above but for now I am specifically looking to learn and implement client-side validation from custom control.
I am sure this question has been asked and answered; but I haven't managed to find it...
I am creating a very simple custom System.Web.UI.Control that has a few properties. I can define in my ASPX page the following tag and everything is happy:
what I need to do to make the XHTML validate. I always have
Content is not allowed between the opening and closing tag of element 'XXX'
Element 'XXX' is not supported
The name contains uppercase characters, which is not allowed
The code actually runs as expected, but I haven't manged to find a good example on how to do this correctly so that everything validates. In terms of implementation of the Custom Control, I just have all properties stubbed out at the moment, and looks something like:
[ParseChildren(true)] [PersistChildren(false)] public class MyControl : Control[code]....
Ultimately, Element is intended to build up a collection of Elements. Any insight on how to do this properly and have the XHTML validate
How to get data (read file) chosen in FileUpload control without FileUpload.SaveAs Method on the server? Is it possible write it at once to some object?
I have a FileUpload control in an UpdatePanel and when user select a file, the full file path will will be stored in a hiddenfield, and during postback, i would like to assign the full file path in the hiddenfield back to the FileUpload control textbox, possible to achieve that?
I recently created a custom validation control that compares two textboxes and verifies their content. When I use this control in a detailsview I have no problems but, when an updatepanel is added the validation control no longer works.I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and .net 3.5 framework.
