Error Messages Positioning

69 New Member
Hi,

I don't really have a problem, I just wanted some advice on how to approach a certain situation. I have a form that is formatted using a table. there are 3 rows and 3 columns. the first column has the Labels the 2nd column has their associated text boxes and the 3rd column is there for any error messages to appear (hopefully the messages would be horizontally in line with the text boxes)
That is my problem. I have 3 checks for the first text box.
1) a required field validator
2)a range validator
3)a check to a database to see that the number entered is not already in the database. (my function)

So that would be 3 different error message labels (i should say) that i would have to place in the <td> of the 3rd column 1st row of the table.Place one, press enter place another press enter again and place the last one.(1st two are validators and the last one is a label). with this approach all 3 messages appear in 3 separate lines within the table cell in the design view of the form
What i want is that if an error has to show up then it would show up in line with the text box no matter what the error is.
I even tried putting all as relatively positioned one on top of the other.My problem with that was it was that the writing on the control in design view was so jumbled up and i couldn't get to click on the lower ones to see its properties.
Is their an easier way to have these 3 messages appear in one place next to the text box?
I am new to .NET
please help

This is a general computer question, but I'm writing in PHP so I'll post this to comp.lang.php. I've been writing a content management system. I've a Singleton object that keeps track of all errors and stores them in an array. As things work right now, I write out each error message individually. I'm thinking that as the code grows, this system will not continue to scale. Right now my software consists of 1.4 megs of PHP code. I don't...

Hello Everyone, The problem of browser resizing has become an issue for me. While redesigning my webpage, I set the left and right margins to be auto so that my content would be centered. However, there are images that I used absolute positioning in order to place them in the appropriate location on my page. When I do a browser resize, these images do not move (obviously). However, the rest of my content is auto centered as...

I am trying to re-work an old site by replacing the html with css. On the main page, I have a logo image which I needed centred on the initial screen. I found the solution here: http://www.wpdfd.com/editorial/wpd0103.htm#toptip (the second example) The problem is, under the image is a large table. But using the above positioning, now the table starts at the top of the page and runs underneath the image.

If you've ever employed custom error numbers and messages in you programs, you've probably ended up with code similar to what I've ended up with in the past something like... <code> public Const xyzcErrNumBase As Long = 500 Public Const xyzcErrNumHeyDontDoThat = xyzcErrNumBase + 1 Public Const xyzcErrTxtHeyDontDoThat = "Hey! Don't do that!"

I have no idea what is going on. I have a Login screen where someone types in their login information and this populates a datagrid based off of the login.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
