Is there any way to use a validator that shows an error mesagge, if the user leaves a textbox blank (empty string)? Note: in this case I can use RequiredFieldValidator, because the control I want to check for empty string is on a modalpopup (which is not visible most of the time) and the RequiredFieldValidator then blocks the Buttons on the rest of the (visible) page.
View 1 RepliesI 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'm trying to use the validator to work on a email form to ensure that they enter a valid from email address. That part works. I also want to add to the expression the text that I pre-populate in the txtbox ("Enter your email address") so on postback, after sending the message, I can clear the fields and repopulate that box.
How do I add that wording to the current expression: w+([-+.']w+)*@w+([-.]w+)*.w+([-.]w+)*

View 8 RepliesWhen I added Regular Expression validator on FileUpload Control, Page.IsValid returns false & Data is not Saved. I had used Regular Expression Validator like this:
asp:RegularExpressionValidator

ControlToValidate="FileUpload1"
Font-Bold="True"
SetFocusOnError="True"
ValidationExpression="^(([a-zA-Z]:)|(\{2}w+)$?)(\(w[w].*))(.jpg|.JPG|.gif)$"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>.

View 2 RepliesEarlier my text box was running on this Validation Expression="^[a-zA-Z'.s-]{1,80}$", to allow only alphabets,  ' . s . Now my text box should be capable of taking Chinese characters as well, so I was learnt online to use this p{L} for unicode instead of  a-zA-Z, and set EnableClientScript="false".
asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="regexpName" runat="server" CssClass="failureNotification" ErrorMessage="No Special Characters allowed"
ControlToValidate="txtName" ValidationExpression="^[p{L}'.s-]{1,80}$" Display="Dynamic" meta:resourcekey="regexpNameResource1" EnableClientScript="false"
I have done both, but it doesn't work. My input values were like
1. John123 2. 汉è¯%^&
Both of these were accepted without any errors. But I expect only alphabets in english and chinese and ' . s - to be accepted as Name input.
I have this email, which I know is valid:
MyName@MyDomain.info
I am validating an input field with the default asp net email validator expression and it returns the email address as INVALID.
Here is my code:
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator
ID="RegularExpressionValidator1"
runat="server"
ValidationExpression="w+([-+.']w+)*@w+([-.]w+)*.w+([-.]w+)*"
ControlToValidate="Email"
runat="server"
ErrorMessage=" * "
/>
Is there a better regular expression pattern to validate an email address?
