Rodger,
It's a little tricky. You can validate text in the textbox in a couple of
events but if you want to verify that "something" was entered that can't be
done in a textbox event because theoretically your event handler has never
been called.
You also should consider what a pop-up dialog does from a UI viewpoint. If
for instance the text entry has to be 10 characters it can't very well
pop-up a message on the first 9 characters saying "it's too short."
Similarly it can't keep warning "hey it's empty" while the user is making
their way to that textbox.
You could check all the data when the user presses "Ok" but that's a little
late. Ideally the Ok button shouldn't be active until the data is actually
okay.

The best way to set the textbox.causeva lidation property to true, then
choose the validating eventhandler.
In the event write your's validating code, and if the textbox.text not
corresponds to the condition, choose the e.cancel.
In that case the user can't leave the textbox, until writes the appropriate
value.
Search for the "Validated event" in the VS help.

Hello:
How can I validate the character encoding of the textbox in a form?
For instance, when the user fills out a form, I need to be sure that he is
typing in English (I mean uses Latin characters - not Russian, Hebrew etc.).
Do you know any JS code sample that I could use?
I would appreciate your help.
Thank you,

Does anyone know a regular expression that will validate the file extension
but also allow multiple file extensions if necessary. It also needs to be
case insensitive. Basically, what I want is to validate a file input box to
check if the extension is the correct type, i.e. .doc for a Word Document
etc. Also I would like to check multiple file types, for instance allow a
gif or a jpeg or a jpg.
Regards, Chris.

I want to allow users to enter dates in a text box in either the US "MM dd
yy" format or the UK "dd MM yy" format.
But how can I validate these dates? All the date functions e.g. ISdate,
convert.ToDatetime etc fail on the US date format as the application and IIS
is set to UK format.
Its strange that the date format("12/03/06","MM dd yy") is interpretated
correctly but format("12/22/06","MM dd yy") bombs out.

I have one textbox on a form. Nothing else. The validate event doesn't
fire. Drop another textbox on the form and the validate event fires. Set
tabstop = false on the 2nd text box and the validate event on textbox1
doesn't fire again.
I now it sounds silly with only one tab stop but it is for a barcode
scanner. scan, scan, scan, esc. Thats it.
help... I need a work around.

Hi,
I have a composited control with a Textbox and a Rangevalidator.
If I am not mistaken, Rangevalidator should take currency ($) symbol, but I
got the validation error when user enter -$100 in the text box. It will
succeed if -100.
So I tried add a property called "MoneyValue", return a Decimal only value
and use , hopping RangeValidator

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.
