Validation for DataGrid

[Matthias Marx]

Hello NG

ASP:NET c# 1.1
I have to develop an existing c#, web application.
There is a datagrid.
With the Edit/Update function, where you could edit the value within the row.

I need a validation for numeric datatyp.
How could I insert a validation for this. It could be JavaScript, that onblur - event

With "normal" text boxes I do this
this.txtNumberR ooms.Attributes .Add("onblur", "javascript:Che ckNumber(this, 4);");

Thank You

But with the Datagrid i have now idea.

Regards

Matthias

woah there....there' s a much simpler way to do this, and not just within a
DataGrid.

Use a System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Comp areValidator; something like this :

<asp:TextBox id="IntegerValu e" runat="server"/>
<asp:CompareVal idator
ControlToValida te="IntegerValu e"
Operator="DataT ypeCheck"
Type="Integer"
ErrorMessage="- you must provide a valid Integer Value"
Display="Static "
runat="server"/>

The compare validator can check String, Integer, Double, Date or Currency
data types. It also gives you the advantage of performing both client side
*and* server side validation for you. By checking Page.IsValid on postback
you'll know whether or not the data entered is valid according to the rules
you've set up.

With ASP.NET there's really no reason to write your own client-side
validation routines for trivial data-types (and non-trivial ones can usually
be coped with by judicious use of the RegularExpressi onValidator).

Hi,
One option is to use EditItemTemplat e for the grid. This lets you explicitly
specify the markup for the editable columns and hookup JS functions like
what you are looking for.

For a sample (at the bottom):
