If I have got 2 web user controls on my aspx form, and one web user
control has got some validator controls on it, what I find is that if
I enter in some "bad data" in to some text boxes on the first web user
control, then click on a link button on the second web user control to
leave the aspx form, it won't let me - the validators run on the first
web user control and highlight the errors and won't let me leave until
I fix them. I'm trapped.

Validation controls work great for scenarios where you fill everything in
and submit (ie, simple forms). They get to be a pain in the butt when you
start dealing with complex logic and are best thrown out the window in those
cases. This may not be a popular statement, but it is factual.
You have a couple of choices.
1. Scrap the validation controls in this exercise.
2. Customize the validation to not validate on the second button push (could
be a coding nightmare, especially since you are dealing with controls in a
page).
I prefer the easy route, as the validation controls are meant to make your
life easier, not harder.

The validators have an enabled property. You can use client side javascript
hooked up to each user controls button to disable the validators on the
oposite control.

Actually, I just found another workaround:
For the buttons and link buttons on the other web user control that
needs to override any validators on the first web user control, set
the CausesValidatio n property of these controls to false.

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

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.
Anyway, I noticed that required fields weren't validating on the server
side, so I've whittled the code down to the example below which illustrates
the problem.
Basically, when I programmatically create a control and a required field
validator, and don't use client side validation,...

I am using a base page (I think they're also called master pages) as a

until I want to use a validator.
Any validators added to the page do not fire. I can leave a required
textbox blank, and the code happily chugs through processing the
button click code.
After some research, I've found that some...

Hi
I have a Formview control in a UserControl. The server-side validation is
not working, i.e. the events are not firing when a button control which
causes validation is fired or even when Page.Validate() is explicitly
called.
I'm loading the FormView as an IBindableTemplate as in this article but I
don't think this is the reason for the validation not working.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
