Web Forms :: Displaying Custom Validator Error Message On Summary?
Feb 9, 2010
I have an aspx page with lots of controls on it. I am using a custom validator control (with the serverside validation). Is there a way to display the error message on the validation summary without writing Javasccript. I am a beginner in .NET and am not fluent in Javascript. This is the custom validator HTML
This is the utility method am trying to validate for the entry on the UI, so that it takes dates only in these described formats If the user enters date in any other format, this method returns returns the Datetime.Mivalue(1/1/0001)
public DateTime GetFomattedDate(string dateString)
{
try
{
string[] formats = {
"MMddyyyy", // These are the accepted date formats for the UI
"MM/dd/yyyy",
"M/d/yyyy",
"yyyy/MM/dd",
"yyyy/M/d"
};
DateTime EffDate = DateTime.MinValue;
if ( DateTime.TryParseExact(dateString,formats, null, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out EffDate))
{
return EffDate;
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
return DateTime.MinValue;
}
This is my customvalidator event handler(code behind)
protected void ValidateDate_ServerValidate(object source,servervalidate eventargs args)
{
args.IsValid = GetFomattedDate(args.Value) ==DateTime.MinValue? false:true;
}
I am able to validate it properly, but I cannot display the error message in the validation summary along with other messages. Anyone who is expert on Javascript can Help with the javascript function?
I have tried in many way but the error message for custom validator is not shown in validation summary but it(ValidationSummary) shows error message for every other type of validator.
i ahve one custvalidator control in that i have used OnServerValidate="ValidateDateRange" ValidateDateRange is function i have written in serverside now i want raise error message without postback operation like (clientside validation) if that ValidateDateRange function returns false .
i am working on web-form for which I have set the validation summary showmessagebox = "true".
I have two required field validators, which trigger on a checkbox's OnCheckedChanged event....now my problem is, when I hit submit, the page does not submit if I do not enter any values in the text boxes..which is correct behavior but it does not point out to the error or does not display the message box.
i have to scroll up to see what is wrong with he page and then try to enter the values...I do not understand why my message box does not show up or at least why my setfocusonerror which is set to true does
I have a requirement that one of multiple fields is required. Using custom validator the even fires, false is returned, but no error message is display and the form validates. What am I missing? I have tried with and without ValidationSummary.
<asp:CustomValidator ID="QuestionValidator" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Please select an option" ClientValidationFunction="QuestionValidator_ServerValidate" OnServerValidate="QuestionValidator_ServerValidate" ValidateEmptyText="true"></asp:CustomValidator>
[code]...
When I run the page, there is no validation and no error message. Please can you point out where I am going wrong, I'm suspicious it is at Page.Master.FindControl("form1").Controls.I have previously done such validation by looping through controls via form1.controls but this is unavailable as the page uses a form passed down via the master page.

I am using a custom validator to call a javascript function for validation. My problem is that I need to be able to change the error message dynamically. Here is the code:
I have compare validators that I build on the fly in code behind that validate textboxes that are also built up in the code behind:

These work fine until a postback occurs. After a postback they still validate the form (i.e. they don't let you postback) but the error message won't display.
How can i use Javascript to dispaly the error msg in validation summary . i have the validation summary in master page, and would like to add some error msg if i find some custom errors.
I have one doubt i.e i want to display the error message for the validator controls all the times regardless of whether one has entered a value or not. In my case i'm using few required field and custom validator controls.
By using Page.Validate() method i'm able to display the error message for all the controls , but this doesn't work in case the field has any value in it.
Please suggest if there is any workaround for this to display the error mesages for the fields with validator controls all the time.
I've got a booking form which allows users to pick dates. User clicks FromDate button which activates calendar control, they select date from calendar which then populates a textBox. I have a compare validator which checks that the SelectedDate is greater than the current date, if the SelectedDate is in the past then the validator fires error message. This works as fine, however, when the validator fires it disables the FromDate button so the user is unable to pick another date from the calendar as the focus goes to the TextBox which is being validated - how do I get around this? Here's the code:
I have textboxs that define requiredfield validator for them..I want when I click on button if users don't type text in textbox it shows popupmenu some thing like ModalPopupExtender that I can define div on it and it shows just this text" please fill required field".
I am using Customvalidator control . I am giving client side validation function in it. On running it is giving error as: ValidationStream is not defined.
I am trying to handle the unhandled exceptions in my project.I tried with this following code in my web.config filebut it is not at all redirecting to an error page which i have created instead of that it is throwing an exception in my code itselef. How to print the error description over therein my custom error page.
I have a regular expression validation control initialized to validate a textbox control. I want users to be able to enter U.S. Currency values ($12,115.85 or 1500.22 etc.). I found a regular expression off of regexlib website that does the trick. The validation control seems to be working except for one crucial thing. If invalid data is entered, the validation text dispalys (a red "*" next to the textbox), but the page will still submit and the error message won't pop up... I thought that the error message is supposed to display and the page won't submit if the validation control detects invalid data. Isn't this automatic with ASP .NET? I have searched extensively on how to create validation controls, but haven't found anything different than what I am already doing. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
This is something thats been bugging me for a while. I can't even remember if I fixed this before or not. What I'm trying to do is display a single error message for all validation controls on my page. I think this is possible if you write your own javascript function for a Custom Control, hiding the error message, and displaying it on a single control. Writting all the javascript for this and then refering to the control with "GetElementByID". But can I use controls like RequiredFieldValidator, and make them display messages on one single control without having to write javascript for each one of them? One single message on one single literal or label or whatever, at the bottom of the page, that says "fill in the compulsary fields" or something similar. I find it very annoying having a list of validators underneath each other with different messages.
I am using the SQLMembershipProvider for authenicating users for my web site. I would like to change the default message that is displayed when a user signs in but who's account is disabled. By default, it shows:
Your account has not yet been approved. You cannot login until an administrator has approved your account.
Is there a property for the Login control that allows me to change this message programmatically.
For certain parts of the site the allow inserting and updating of data we have some try / catch logic in place.. Now we would like to display a custom error page explaining what didnt happen. Instead of just a generic message that says error occurred. Here is 1 error that is generated due to Primary Key constraints, we woudl like to redirect them to our error.aspx page which is already setup and configured in the web.config but within that page display a more user friendly detail message of why they got the error. In the example below, we may want to say, "There was an error with the "Access Insert" please make sure that the values you entered on the previous page are unique" thats just an example, but gives an idea of what we are trying to do.
