Pattabi,

Dharani,

the problem you are facing is that you have wrapped your text control in a
custom user control,
therefore the control gets renamed to "ctl4_text1 ", where ctl4 is the id of
your user control.
This is to allow for multiple instances of the same user control on the same
page without naming
collisions (since forms send back in http in key-value-pairs).

VS.Net does not support your approach and I haven't found a solution for
your problem.
I tried dynamically setting the controlToValida te in the validator, but it
only takes a string value
(otherwise you could have looked up the text control using FindControl())

Let me know if you found a solution
Good luck
Stefan

a growing dislike of custom user controls

by: V. Jenks | last post by:

Long story as short as possible: I have a page (aspx) that contains a user control (ascx). In the form the user can enter a username and password. If they do, the password box auto-posts-back and checks to see if the user already exists in the database. If yes, the rest of the form fields on the page are populated with that existing user's data.
