DropDownList Validators Not Validating

Posted By: Posted Date: September 07, 2010 Points: 0 Category :ASP.Net

I can't seem to get any sort of validator to fire when validating my DropDownList. I just want to make sure that it isn't left at "--Select--" when the user presses the Add button on the page. I've tried a range validator and required field validator and neither seem to fire at all. My DropDownList contains ID which is an int that is hidden and Name which is a string that is displayed. The ID is -1 for "--Select--".I use these all the time and can't understand why the page in this new solution is any different from other solutions I have done in the past. What have I missed?<asp:DropDownList ID="drpProducts" runat="server" CausesValidation="True" ValidationGroup="AddExistingProduct"></asp:DropDownList> <asp:Button ID="btnAddExistingProduct" runat="server" Text="Add" onclick="btnAddExistingProduct_Click" ValidationGroup="AddExistingProduct" CausesValidation="true" /> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvAddExistingProduct" runat="server" Enabled="true" ValidationGroup="AddExistingProduct" ControlToValidate="drpProducts" InitialValue="-1" ErrorMessage="*"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator> <asp:RangeValidator ID="

Problem validating StringBuilder fields in SharePoint 2010 Custom Workflow Validators

One of our custom SharePoint Designer workflow activities, which have always worked fine in SharePoint 2007, fails to validate.

This appears to happen when a Workflow Activity that contains a StringBuilder field also contains a lookup variable.

<FieldBind Field="CustomCode" Text="this code" Id="1" DesignerType="StringBuilder" />

For example when we store the following in this StringBuilder field

"Today's date = [%Current Item:Transaction Date%]"

This field returns 'null' in the ActivityValidator. As a result we cannot validate its contents.

ASP.NET DropDownList Web Control, Part 1

Anybody with much experience in ASP has written an include file function for populating the contents of a SELECT dropdown list with entries from a database. Some of the more advanced users have even gone so far as to add caching to their function to reduce database hits for these rarely changing menu options. Naturally, these same techniques are going to be used with ASP.NET, but with a new programming object model. ASP.NET provides a web control, the DropDownList, which can be used for the same purposes as our custom built SELECT tag from Classic ASP.

Declaring a DropDownList in ASP .Net

A DropDownList is also commonly known as combo box. It can contain multiple data members, but unlike a normal list box the users can choose only one value from this control. Though the functionality of this DropDownList is much like a Single Row Select List Box, a DropDownList can save a lot of GUI space as it is rendered on a Single line and is expanded only when the user clicks on the Control

LINQ to SQL - Validating if item is in Database, but if item is not items not inserting into databas

Hello,

I am new to this, so bear with me. I am writing an application in C# that uses LINQ to validate a datacontext off a textbox to see if the record exists already. If the record does exist I inserted an if statement to advise the user that the record exists, if the record does not exist I would like to allow the record to be added to the database. If I take out my else statement everything works fine as far as inserting goes, but I do not want to allow inserts in this scenario. I have tried moving the if and else statement to different parts of the code but can't quite figure this one out. Any help would be apprecaited, attached is the code. This code is set to a button press. As a matter of fact, if you see any other errors along the way please feel free to point them out.

Thanks,

Pete
