Question on the Compare Validator

[Guest]

RE: Visual Studio, .net, Web Based Programming.

Well now that I understand how to validate that a date is a date using a compare validator, a new snafu came up. Most of my dates are just coming from textboxes on the screen, but a few are grid footer fields. (I was planning on using grid footers for textboxes that eventually get inserted into an Oracle database, because there is no built in insert functionality in the data grind supplied with Visual Studio.)

How can I get Visual Studio to recognize a footer field and show it in the "control to validate" pick list? I tried typing in the name free form but than I got an error at run time. ("Unable to find control id .... etc.")

Thsnks.

P.D.

Hi Paul,

We can set the Validator's property in HTML view. Additionally, the Textbox
and Validator control should be in same DataGrid footer template. For
example:

<aspataGrid id="MyDataGrid" runat="server" ...>
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn>
...
<FooterTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="t1" Runat="server">sss</asp:TextBox>
<asp:CompareValidator id="CompareValidator1" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="t1" ErrorMessage="Invalid Date!" Type="Date"
Operator="DataTypeCheck"></asp:CompareValidator>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</aspataGrid>
