dynamically add controls and validators - always false

Based on the content in my database, I need to populate different form
controls and validators, such as textbox, dropdownlist,
requiredfieldva lidators , etc.

Then I need to check if the form has been filled out correctly. If so, I
need to update a database, and do other things.

In order to check if the form is ok, I've tried looping through the
validator controls, and I've also tried using page.isvalid.

Nomatter what, the form seems to be incorrrectly filled out. The validator
controls comes out as "false", and Page.isvalid also comes out as false.

Here is a modified example of my problem, so that you can see what I'm
dealing with.

}

}

}

I go track of the error now.

Change the code like this:
protected override void CreateChildCont rols()

{

RequiredFieldVa lidator validator2 = new RequiredFieldVa lidator();

TextBox txtfield=new TextBox();

txtfield.ID="tx tfield";

plh.Controls.Ad d(txtfield);

plh.Controls.Ad d(validator2);

validator2.Cont rolToValidate=t xtfield.ID;

validator2.ID=" validator2";

validator2.Text = "Error";

validator2.Erro rMessage="Error ";

validator2.Enab leClientScript= false;

}

Just add this overridden CreateChildCont rols to the Page and remove the
relevant code from Page_Load. That should do it. (Page.Validate etc can
still be where they are now)

Thank you!

I need some advice on what to read in order to learn more about these
things.
Why did I need to override that method, and how will I know when I will need
to override a method next time...?

I've got a feeling I'm going to need to override methods a lot with this
project
Do you have an book suggestion, or online tutorials that will educate me on
this?

Regards Christian H.

Hi folks, I've got a bit of a problem. I have a situation where I build forms completely dynamically based on a form definition supplied from a database.

Basically, when I programmatically create a control and a required field validator, and don't use client side validation,...

Hi, Although I have got to the bottom of this problem, it gave me quite a shock to discover how easy it is to write a very unsafe application with .Net validators. The scenario was this: we wrote and tested an application using validators, but when we deployed the app onto a different server, it accepted and processed invalid input from the user.
