Is it possible to use a required field validator and have it make a user
answer a comment field based on a drop down value picked? For instance, if
the user selects "It was terrible", make them have to enter comments before
allowing that page to be submitted.
If that cannot be done, what is the best way to do this. What makes it
harder is that the questions are being placed on the form from a database
dynamically, so we cannot write any java code ahead of time.
Any replies would be greatly appreciated. 3 5085
1)Enable your DropDownList Control for AutoPostBack
2)Implement SelectedIndexCh anged Event so thet you Enable or Disable your
Required Field Validator according to the value selected from the DropDownList
for example:
if(cmb.Selected Value =="YourValue" )
{
RequiredFieldVa lidator1.Enable d = true;
}
else
{
RequiredFieldVa lidator1.Enable d = false;
}

Thanks...I will look at your solution.
I am actually hoping to do this client side. I believe I have a good
solution I am coding. I will add an attribute to the dropdown that runs a
java script that takes in the dropdown object, the object that needs
validation, and the values of the dropdown that will cause the validation to
be enabled. Then I will check to see if the dropdown value selected is one
that I will be looking for and then validate the object then. I will then
attempt to attach this to the page submit event.
Thanks for your response though...I did not think of having the dropdown
post back.

You should use CustomValidator for this purpose. A RequiredFieldVa lidator
will not work on conditional basis. That is how it was in .net 1.1.. I am
not sure if it has changed the way it works in asp.net 2.0

Dear Group
It says in MSDN that a field can be associated with more than one
validators but can one validator be associated with more than one
field? Or do I need a validator for each field? How does it work?
Using Handlers?
Thanks for your efforts!

I built a composit control consisting of a calandar control and a text box
and an image of a calandar. Depending on what page I place this control the
Date field needs to be required.
If the date field needs to be required can I somehow use the required date
validator on the main page where the conrol is placed. The date text box is
accessible through a property. Or do I need to use a custom validator?
Thanks for any input

Hi,
I have an ASP.Net web page . The page was working fine until I added a

boxes & puts them into an SQL database.
After adding the required field validator, when I click any button, (be it

Hello,
I have a form and two buttons on it. Button1 submits the data to a database

Button2 is pressed required field validator wants the required fields to be
filled up.

I have some required field validators on a form and would like to know if
there is a way to set focus back to the field that is required if the
validator is triggered. The problem is that the validator is triggered and
displays the error message, but it may be up the form so far and out of
sight so the user never sees it unless he/she scrolls back up the page. I
know there is a validation summary, but it would be nice to have it set

Hi,
Could someone give me a quick review of how to use the required field
Validator? I'm completely at a loss, and MSDN does not help one bit. =/
Basically all I want done is to make sure that the user enters some
text into a field called "txbName" and when they click on the submit
button, if they have not entered anything into the field, a Required
Field Validator will say "Invalid Name".
Thanks,

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.
