View 2 RepliesI have a table that displays data by year. The year headings and data selections are dynamically generated, so that the code does not need to be changed every year. Each cell has 2 validators on it, and the ErrorMessages for each validator needs to say the item and the year. On top of that, the validators are in FormView templates. I know how to set the ErrorMessage text in code behind, but I am wondering if there is a way to do it more efficiently. Right now for each cell I have to code:
string Year1_Text = ...code to set the year...
RequiredFieldValidator Year1_Item1 = (RequiredFieldValidator) FormView1.Findcontrol("Year1_Item1RequiredFieldValidator");
Year1_Item1.ErrorMessage = Year1_Text + " Data Item Is Required";
CompareValidator Year1_Item1 = (CompareValidator) FormView1.Findcontrol("Year1_Item1CompareValidator");
Year1_Item1.ErrorMessage = Year1_Text + " Data Item Must Be Numeric";
With 5 years and 10 data items, that will be a LOT of code. Is there an easier way?
My understanding is that the ErroMessage is supposed to be displayed in a ValidationSummary control. My page does not have a ValidationSummary and I set the RequiredValidator's Text property to empty. I expected that nothing would be displayed when the validated control is invalid, but the ErrorMessage shows up at the place where Text is supposed to be. I am wondering if this is normal.
BTW, ValidatorCalloutExtender is used. Is this a cause?
Now I have to set the Display property to None to avoid any displaying anything. This is not a big deal, but I am curious.
I want to use requiredFieldValidator when the textbox has no text and clicking inputbutton.
I want to do if I clicking button with no text in textbox, It comes requiredFieldValidator error message, no popup window.
code is below.

I have a RequiredFieldValidator with Display="Dynamic" on my ASP.NET WebForm. I have assigned it a class using the CssClass property. I want the error message to be displayed using display: block, so I have placed this on the css class in my style sheet.
Unfortunately, the validator places a display: inline on the element on the web page, effectivaly overriding my style sheet value.
Edit:
I just realised why this doesn't work. When setting Display="Dynamic" on a validator, it has the effect that it sets style="display: none" on the span tag when rendering. The .net javascript library then switches the inline style of the element between "none" and "inline". That is simply how the dynamic validator works. So for this to display as a block element, I will need to modify how the client side event validation works.

View 3 RepliesIs there a way to bind MinimumValue or MaximumValue of RangeValidator in it's own ErrorMessage declaratively (in .aspx file)?
I want to do something like
<asp:RangeValidator id="validator1" runat="server".... ErrorMessage="Please enter a value between <%# validator1.MinimumValue %> and <%# validator1.MaximumValue %> />
I would then set validator1.MinimumValue or validator1.MaximumValue in PageLoad, because I get those values from a database.
This is the error I'm getting using MVC2:
Either ErrorMessageString or ErrorMessageResourceName must be set, but not both.
It is coming from the [Required] Validation DataAnnotation.

I've boiled my view model down to this(it breaks any time there is a [Required] attribute, works fine without):
[Required(ErrorMessage = "")]
[DataType(DataType.Text)]
[DisplayName("Property Name")]
public string MyProperty { get; set; }
My controller returns an empty ViewModel, and the form in the view is completely blank...just a submit button.
I am using recaptcha in an ASP.NET 3.5 application and for some odd reason the ErrorMessage property is not working. Below is my code
<recaptcha:RecaptchaControl ID="recaptcha" runat="server" PublicKey="*******************************" PrivateKey="*******************" Theme="white" ErrorMessage="This is an typo error" />
When the typed text doesn't match with the recaptcha image text it still shows the default error message "Incorrect. Try again." instead of my custom error message. What could be the reason for this strange behavior
I am using SQL2008 and created a full-text index on 1 of my tables. Going through the wizard, I was offered (2) types of population schedules as follows:New Table Schedule: Define a population schedule for a table.New Catalog Schedule: Define a population schedule for a full-text catalog.I am familiar with a 'Catalog' schedule for population which I do nightly and was similar to configuration on SQL2000 for a full text index. However, what is the difference for a 'Table' schedule vs the 'Catalog' population schedule? I have the definitions above, but if someone with knowledge could offer a better in depth explanation in comparison, and if I should use both or not (I have just a Catalog population scheduled currently),

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Price is required.")]
public decimal price { get; set; }
How can I change default message for invalid price - I would like to change default error message "The value '45,8asasa' is not valid for Price.".
I'm not able to set errorMessage for DataType attribute.
Here is sample code :
[DataType(DataType.Currency, ErrorMessage = "Please enter a number")]
But in the ValidationSummary it is displayed:
The value 'sdf' is not valid for StartPrice. Other attributes like Required, StringLength or Range work fine.
I had to remove validationSummary and display messages with <%= Html.ValidationMessageFor() %> nearby input fileds but it is not the solution.
I've got a CreateUserWizard control and am performing server-side validation. Is there a way to force the CUW's error message to display from the code-behind? At the moment, if the user enters a duplicate name, the controls DuplicateUserNameErrorMessage property is displayed. However, if the user has turned javascript off, or sends a custom POST header, with invalid characters, I rely on my server-side validation to catch the error. How can I then display the same error message in the control's ErrorMessage label, instead of creating a custom label and faking it?
View 1 RepliesI thought my issue was related to the Validators not working in UpdatePanels but that does not seem to be the case.
All validators fire when they should but, the error warning message clears when the updatepanel updates.
for example...
textbox1 range 1 to 23. dropdown1 updates the updatepanel. enter 99 error shows, but will disapear when I change value of dropdown1. textbox1 value still 99 so validator message should still show but it does not.
I create a new website in VS 2010 (VB .Net). I add a table, within it i add a textbox, a button and a RequiedFieldValidator. I set the RFV ControlTValidate property to the textbox. When i move(click or tab) away from the textbox, the RFV doesnt kick in the error message that i have set.
The RFV code is
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtEnterName" ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator"
InitialValue="0" ForeColor="#FF3300"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
Texbox
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEnterName" runat="server" Width="221px"></asp:TextBox>
I have following tag, I want to validate requirefieldvalidato runtim whenever user click on "Submit" button btnSubmit_Click event, how can I do this? Actually on my form I have 3-4 submit button for different purpose.On each buton I have set CauseValidaton=false,because some of the fields are initially hidden and depending on button click fields are visible.

Not the textbox<asp:textbox mode="multiline">
I am using ckeditor as my Rich Text Editor (RTE). This is an html element control and not an ASP control. I would like to use the RequiredFieldValidator (RFV) control to make this field required.
I cannot find any documentation stating that the RFV can be used like this. Can anybody tell me if this is possible?
Here's an example - notice that there is an html textarea element - how do I use RFV on this?

If the user submits this form, and they have not selected a option , I'd expect the validator to catch it but it's not.

I am trying to make my ASP.NET (2.0) application to work on Server 2008 (IIS 7) but all validations are ignored. Many textboxes have requireedfieldvalidators that should require user entries but they are ignored. The same application runs on a bunch of Server 2003 with no problems like these. Is there a setting on Server 2008 IIS that has to be enabled/disabled in order for the validation to work?
