View 3 RepliesI'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:
_validator.ID = String.Format("{0}_{1}", ID, ValidatorID);
Everything is working fine, and id given to Validator is the same as it would be inside Naming container.
But is there a way to accomplish this WITH INamingContainer ?

I have a Gridview with a number of Template fields, where the values are all binded to a DB.
I can handle the validation in the codebehind (C#) fine, as far as that singe control.
BUT
I want the validation to be dependent on one of the controls in a Different TemplateField
ie.
Template A
Template B
Template c
Template B & C dependent on Template A

But still the page is posting back even if I select '--select--' option.

I'm currently stuck with a problem with MVC2 RC and validation on a dropdownlist :
I have a page with some fields and a dropdownlist. The dropdownlist is not a mandatory field so I would like to save a null value into my property.
Unfortunately, I can't validate my page with a null selected value, because when I look into the modelstate just on the first line of my action, I've already an error telling me I must choose an item.
Is it normal working of dropdownlist validation or is it a bug ?
I have DropDownlist with Reqired field Validator control for validating initial value of DDL
Now if Checkbox is Checked then i have to disable the Validation of DropDown Selection else must validate the DropDownlist initial value.
Note: The following is just an example.
I'm pretty new to ASP.NET MVC and I'm trying to get my head around how validation of dropdown lists work. I have the following property in my ProfileViewModel class:
[DisplayName("Gender")]
public bool? Gender { get; set; }
null is meant to mean "unknown", true female and false male. In the view model constructor I
AllGenders = new List<SelectListItem>(2)
{
new SelectListItem {Text = "Unknown", Value = "null"},
new SelectListItem {Text = "Male", Value = "false"},
new SelectListItem {Text = "Female", Value = "true"}
};
First of all, it seems that I have to use strings when populating a List<SelectListItem>, which feels kinda weird. Is this really how it's done?
Secondly, when I choose "Unknown" in the list the validation fails telling me:
The value 'null' is not valid for Gender.
Why is that? When I remove the "null" option and change Gender to a simple bool, everything seems fine.
This is the ASPX:
<%= Html.DropDownList("Gender", Model.AllGenders) %>
(I can't get DropDownListFor to work correctly and it seems that many others have the same problem.)
I've got a dropdownlist control that the user can select an an employee name and that should then fill in the detailsview control with specific information about that employee.
My dropdownlist control works fine and I do have AutoPostBack set to true. For some reason my detailsview doesn't work. There's no error message. The detailsview control just doesn't show up.
Here's my code:

I have a question regarding validation of drop-down list values. I have a view that is bound to a view model type called ReservationData.
This object contains a property CustomerVehicles of type List<VehicleData>. VehicleDatahas two int properties VehicleMakeId and VehicleModelId.
On my view I am trying to loop over the number of items in the CustomerVehicles collection and displaying two dropdowns for each, a vehicle make dropdown and a vehicle model dropdown usingDropDownListFor.
When I try to submit and validate I do not see any validation errors displayed on the screen.
Just in case you are wondering I have added a ValidationMessageFor for each dropdown as well. I am not sure if this is an issue with the structure of my view model and its complexity and how the controls need to be named or how the ids need to be set.
Here is the code for the looping over the collection:

I'm populating a DropDownList using JS on the client and validating with a RequiredFieldValidator.This works fine on the client but the Page.IsValid consistently comes back false on the server.Is this because the selected value wasn't in the DropDownList when it was first served to the page?What's the easiest way around this? (I need to leave server validation turned on)
View 1 RepliesHow to validate selected value in first dropdown
Where second dropdown in same row should not select it,
When dropdown added dynamically in gridview
I've put a DropDownList control within a LoginView control. I've got 2 SqlDataSource controls outside of the LoginView control, with the intent of databinding the items that comprise the ListItems of the DropDownList control, and another one for the data is stored in another table which has what was previously saved for the selection. However, when I've assign the SqlDataSource control to the DropDownList control's DataSourceID for the lookup table, I'm used to seeing the fields from the SqlDataSource control appearing in the DataTextField and DataValueField properties. However, they're not appearing there at all. Moreover, even when I try to type them in, its as if VS 2010 refuses to allow them.
View 3 RepliesI'm using Data Annotations to validate my fields, Eventhough field is marked with Required Attribute the DropdownList/ListBox Value doesn't fire up to show they are required. how can I solve this.
View 3 RepliesI have 2 text boxes in which I am comparing the numeric value of one to the other. At first it works fine and I get the appropriate error message. But eventually as i plug in different numbers although I should be getting an error message I stop getting one. Is there something going on behind the scenes to fire the error message than I am unaware of. Also the error message fires some time when the value is less than the value of another control and equal to the value. I only want it to fire when it is less than the value of the other control.
