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.

When it comes to field validation, when I use a Compare Validator to make sure a date is a date or a numeric field has a number, I must also use a Required Field Validator to make sure there is something actually enetered. In other words, the Compare Validator allows a blank value even though a blank is not a date or number or whatever.
Is using both a Required Field Validator and a Compare Validator the way to do this or is there some way to make the Compare Validator also require input of some kind?
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 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
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList_HP" runat="server"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource_HP" [code]...
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
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366709.aspx
So I changed the ListItem in the DropDownList markup to the following:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList_RefHospDV4" runat="server"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource_RefHosp" [code]...
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 -".
Page validation using Required field validator is not firing I configured everything and tested in other page and found its working fine.
I placed my controls under TabContainer is that the reason for not firing.

I have a form that contains times and dates. Each of these controls has a required field validator so that the user must put in the date and time. This apprears to work fine in testing. The data is stored in sql tables which are then worked with in the office using an Access Database. The webforms are simply used for gathering the data. In analyzing the data, they are finding that there are instances when no time has been stored. I don't know how the insert information could be saved if the control was blank. To make matters worse, the staff swear that they are entering the times.
Sometimes while registering on the website people don't provide correct details like name and e-mailIn order to check correct e-mail it is better to use e-mail activation link send to their e-mail.But how to make sure the user is providing correct name ?I am really impressed by the Facebook name recognition system, it we try to use any word which is not a name, it asks you to enter a valid name.Is there any way we can make use of asp.net requiredfieldvalidator to check if user is providing a correct name or not ?I know we can make use of requiredfieldvalidator to see how many alphabets / special symbols etc butIf we put minimum alphabet requirement - in that case user can enter "....." and can easily bypass the requiredfieldvalidator or a user can easily write "iamfakeuser" instead of name and bypass the requiredfieldvalidator.
question is how to check if name is correct or not just like facebook registration form ?
I have a details view with editing enabled. When editing, if the value of the CurrentResident field is changed from Y to N (it is restricted to Y/N), I want to activate a required field validator on the DepartureDate field. The DepartureDate attribute allows nulls in the database structure, but I want it to be required if the client is no longer a resident. How can I accomplish this?

Interested in a way to call an event when the Required Field Validator component determines the assigned text field is not valid/empty. Is this possible? Somewhat surprised it doesn't have an event for this. Am I missing something?

View 3 RepliesI need to add a Required Field Validator to a text box on my page. When I add the validator the following happens when I run the page:
When I click the submit button the page doesn't submit because the page is invalid. No error message displays despite my having set the ErronMessage. When I click inside the text box that has the Validation, then the Required error message shows. When that textbox loses focus the error message goes away. The only way I can get the page to function correctly is if I create 2 Validators for the same text box. The first validator is set to have an ErrorMessage of "" and the second one is a regular error message.
I have used these before many upon many times and never experienced this. Below you will find the Source code.
[Code]....
This code is the only way I am able to get the validation to function correctly where the ErrorMessage displays when I leave the field blank. I appreciate any help on resolving this issue. I have deleted/re-added the validation control many times. This is the only page this type of error happens on.

View 3 RepliesI have a gridview that contains a textbox, a drop down, and a checkbox. The commandfield of the gridview has ShowEditButton="true". All of the gridview updating takes place in the "_OnRowUpdating" event. I have a Panel above the gridview with a table and some fields. Everything in the gridview works perfectly, the edit, the update etc., however, when I add a requiredfieldvalidator to the panel above the gridview, the gridview update functionality no longer works. e.g., clicking the update button does not appear to fire. If I comment out the requiredfieldvalidator, everything works fine.

View 1 Repliesmy question is very simple. I had read through many post include this: http://blog.anasghanem.com/post/How-to-get-the-readonly-textbox-value-on-the-server-.aspxI have a calender extender and the date was target to a texbox. This textbox, i had set it to readonly and it is validate by a required field validator. so mean this texbox must have a value inside. my prob is, i bind the textbox to database and if data is NULL or empty i can't save it because the required field validator was validate textbox as empty value at cllient side. If i remove the required field validator everthing fine. But this is not i want. I have try to set the textbox to javascript onCopy,onPaste,onkeyup. but user also can delete and paste into the textbox.i have think to disable the requried field validtor at server side when data is inserted.
