Validating a field based on value of another field

Hi,

I have a webform with some input controls in it. Some of these controls have
validation controls assigned. So far so good. I would like to have a
validator which validates a field only if the value of another field is a
particular value.

Lets say i have a country field and a state field, i want to validate that
the state field contains a value when the country field is 'US', for
example.

any help?

Use the CustomValidator and write your own logic.

There's a good example here:
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/073102-1.aspx

which shows how to implement both client-side and server-side functions with
the CustomValidator .

Sorry about the unwieldy title, it's difficult to describe it in any other way. Basically I have a table in Access 97 which contains a number of records in different states. When originally created, I do not wish to make the field Original ID required, however once the state of the record is changed I require this field to be completed and not be the value zero. Tried a number of ValidationRule types at field and table property

Hi, Can anyone tell me how the initial value displayed in Combo Box is determined when a form is opened? I am loading the dropdown from one field ("CategoryName") of a table, with "ORDER BY ". The values in the dropdown are loaded in the correct order, but the initial value is not the first row of the dropdown as I expected. The field "CategoryName" is not the primary key for the table -- the PK is

Hey all, I wrote on Friday asking for some help moving a common subclass field up to the base class (original post and followup included below). This entails storing whole numbers inside float data types. What I'm stuck on is how to make sure that the value coming in is indeed a whole number, without converting it to a string and doing manipulation that way. Is there a mathematical way to do this? Thanks again for your help.

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
