asp.net webcontrols
group:CustomValidator
asp.net webcontrols:
I am playing with validators using VS2003 on a XP box. I have textboxes with regExp validators and a button. The validators work when I press the button. If any validator fails, error messages are displayed and button click event does not fire (i.e. not hitting my breakpoint). Everything works as stated. Some error messages are in line and some are shown in a validationSummary control. I added a customValidator to a textbox which already has a regExp validator. The custom validation code was fired. I set args.IsValid=false. I was surprised the button click event was fired. Inside the event handler, I examined the customValidator.IsValid and WebForm1.IsValid values which are both false. According to MSDN , the customValidator should behave like other validators. Can someone explain why the button event is fired eventhough the customValidator fails the validation.
All server events fire, regardless of the outcome of Validation. In your
button handler, though, you should be checking Page.IsValid prior to making assumptions about the data the user's provided. IOW, check Page.IsValid before you use the data and save it to your database. It sounds like you're using a CustomValidator without a client side validation routine (which is fine). This is why your request made it to the server. You can also provide a client side javascript validation function if that's useful to you. But again, you should always check IsValid in your event handlers since the user can disbale javascript in the browser. -Brock DevelopMentor http://staff.develop.com/ballen [quoted text, click to view] > Hi, > > I am playing with validators using VS2003 on a XP box.

Brock,
I agree with you after I read another MSDN article. Why my button click event did not fire when my regExp validator failed? I checked the displayed page content and do not believe the regExp validator is running on client. ...Louis [quoted text, click to view] "Brock Allen" wrote:

To disable the client-side script for testing purposes only, add ClientTarget="downlevel"
to your @Page directive and test it again to see if it really calls the button click event: <%@ Page ClientTarget="downlevel" ... %> -Brock DevelopMentor http://staff.develop.com/ballen [quoted text, click to view] > Brock, > > I agree with you after I read another MSDN article.

The reason it behaves this way is that you didn't supply a client-side
validation function for your custom validator. Client-side validation processes the regular expression validator and thinks the page is fine. It then submits the page. At that point, server side validation is run and calls all validators including your customvalidator. By design, this step happens after Page_Load and just before calling your Click event handler method. Inside your Click event handler you should *ALWAYS* check the state of validation on Page.IsValid because Click is *always* called even if the page is invalid. --- Peter Blum www.PeterBlum.com Email: PLBlum@PeterBlum.com Creator of "Professional Validation And More" at http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx [quoted text, click to view] "Louis Yeung" <Louis Yeung@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C78C17E3-F48B-4310-B059-4779C5B55893@microsoft.com... > Brock, > > I agree with you after I read another MSDN article.
