RequiredFieldVa lidator and UserControl

I'm attempting to put a RequiredFieldVa lidator next to a text box on a user
control. There will be a dozen of these controls added dynamically. At
runtime I get this error:

Unable to find control id 'txtValue' referenced by the 'ControlToValid ate'
property of 'RequiredFieldV alidator1'

Do validators only work on webforms?

Thanks,
Doug

The problem is that controls that are on user controls, get renamed at run
time, so that if you have more then one of that user control on the page,
that everything will be unique.

If the requiredfieldva lidator can't deal with this, it may be worth it to
run your own version. It's not too hard, and you will only need to do it
once since you are encapsulating all the functionality in your usercontrol.

Your textbox ID is prefixed with the user control name.
I'm pretty sure that's all your missing.

I'm having a really strange problem with and HtmlSelect server control (listbox) and a RequiredFieldValidator that I am trying to use to make sure that someone has items in the listbox. The way that the HtmlSelect is populated is via a combination of client-side javascript and another aspx page (launched by the javascript). Anyway, everything seems to work just fine in terms of populating the HtmlSelect. However, when I postback the...

Is there any particular reason why a requiredfieldvalidator cant validate a listbox? I have bound the two together but the validator always returns false on isvalid and so does the Page, no matter if the user selects an item in the listbox or not.

Hello, I have a simple form with some input boxes. After validation if one fails, then I would like to at the top of the page say something like "The following fields in red are required" and then change the label in front of the textbox or dropdown list to red... is this possible with asp.net? It seems you can only put a RequiredFieldValidator on the page, and if it fails validation then that text is displayed... ? Thanks

Hello, I have created a login page using dotnet.
