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?
In my asp.net page I have two DatePickers, String Format. I want to use the Ajax Compare Validator but is'nt validating my dates correctly. I Want to Validate that my StartDate is Equal or Less than my End Date. The problem is that when I select the operator LessThanEqual it only work when The StartDate is Less than the End Date. IF StartDate is equal or Greater than the End Date is Displays the Error Message. I change it to all the possible options and it won't work as I want.
<asp:CompareValidator ID="cpvBirthDate" Type="Date" ControlToValidate="txtBirthDate" Operator="DataTypeCheck" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Please enter a valid date in this format mm-dd-yy"> <img src="Images/ExclamationMark.gif" alt="Please enter a valid date in this format mm-dd-yy" /> </asp:CompareValidator>
It works on the clientside fine, but if a user has javascript disabled then it accepts 071873 which is not a date. Do I need to write a specific serverside function for this validator to work?
When using a range validator, if the user exceeds the defined range, How do you code it so it disables a button so the user can't continue. (without using JavaScript)
When attempting to place controls in different content areas using Masterpages and trying to use a compare validator, I get the error: Unable to find control id 'txtStartDate' referenced by the 'ControlToCompare' property of 'cvlDate'. I have also attempted to set it within the c# code behind in page load: cvlDate.ControlToCompare = txtStartDate.ID and by using findControl there must be an easy way to achieve this?
I have a Range Validator as follows. It is for restricting values between 1900 and 2070. However, it fires error when I enter a alphabet also. I want this to be fired only if the user enters integer values. How do I overcome it?
I am trying to check for a condition such that a date in an input control (textbox) is not greater from a date 1 years from current date(exactly) and also it should not be less than a date 1 year back from current date. for eg. if today's date is "21/dec/1990" then usen cannot enter a date in textbox which is less than 21/dec/89 and it should not be greater than 21/dec/1991. for this i first tried to confirm the greater than condition, i wrote the following code:
All of the examples I can find show the compare validator being used to see if two values are the same. Validation is succesfull if these values are the same, such as password confirmation.I want validation to succeed if values are not the same. I want to use this to be sure that someone doesn't enter the same value for two phone number fields. I want the two values to be different. Can the compare validator be used for this? I wasn't able to find any properties or examples that used it in this way. If not, how should this be done?
I have a couple of textboxes (actually a set of pairs of textboxes) where users can either enter a value or a percentage of a value but cannot use both. So in any given time some of these textboxes are disabled depending on which option the user chose.
For the textboxes representing percentages, there is a range validator to make sure only values from 0 to 100 are entered. If user selectes to enter datanot in percentage form, the percentage textbox gets filled automatically based on the value user enters. So if the total is something like 8 and user enters 2, the corresponding percentage textbox gets filled with 25% (minus the % sign).
However, the vaidation fails as if there is nothing there, persumably because the textbox is disabled. How do I get around this?
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:
[Code]....
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.
I am facing an issue which is i have Custom Validator on TextBox control and Compare Validator on the Same TextBox control now the issue is if custom validator and compare validator is firing at the same time. My Scenario like this I am checking the Date in DD/MM/YYYY format in Custom Validator and the entered should not be greater than Todays date i am checking in Compare Validator so if my Custom Validator fails then it should not fire Compare Validator but its firing how can i Synchronize my above functionality.
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 a range validator to validate a textbox for birthday. i must ensure that a student must be above 21 to register with us. i set "31/12/1993" format (dd/mm/yy).
but it cannot run the website as in my database is set to this (mm/dd/yy) format. how can i solve this without changing my database format? so that it can function for everyone.
