GridView ItemTemplate - Validators not being called

Mel

I have a GridView that is bound to a DataTable. I decided to allow
the user to change the column data right in the ItemTemplate. Then
user won't need to click Edit to change the values and then click
Update to save them because for this application the user will need to
edit the data in every row so I thought the ItemTemplate would be a
better solution. However, when I place the controls in my
ItemTemplate my Validators are not being called at all when they enter
invalid data. Won't the GridView work this way?

Here is a small snippet of one item template column:
<asp:TemplateFi eld HeaderText="Dur ation (days)"
SortExpression= "Duration">
<EditItemTempla te>
</EditItemTemplat e>
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:TextBox ID="txtDuration " runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("[Duration]") %>' Width="56px" CausesValidatio n="True"
Wrap="False" ValidationGroup ="AllValidators "></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:RequiredFi eldValidator ID="rfvDuration " runat="server"
ControlToValida te="txtDuration "
ErrorMessage="E nter a Duration (number of days)."
SetFocusOnError ="True" Display="Dynami c"
ValidationGroup ="AllValidators "></asp:RequiredFie ldValidator><br />
<asp:RangeValid ator ID="rvDuration " runat="server"
ControlToValida te="txtDuration "
ErrorMessage="E nter a number between 0 and 365 days."
MaximumValue="3 65"
MinimumValue="0 " SetFocusOnError ="True" Display="Dynami c"
Type="Integer" ValidationGroup ="AllValidators "></asp:RangeValida tor>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle VerticalAlign=" Top" />
</asp:TemplateFie ld>

the control triggering the postback has to have causes validation set to
true, and have the validation group set to match your specification.

Read only checkbox, radio button (in ASP.NET GridView) solution

by: ballamber | last post by:

This is a solution to the problem. Works with .NET 2.0. So the problem is displaying a data bound read-only checkbox or radio button in a GridView without actually disabling those controls. I assume you know what templates are in a GridView. Examples are in VB.NET. Sorry... So as a first step create a function in the page's underlying class that returns the string "checked" based on the bound data. Here's what I did. The underlying data...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
