Validation controls

[mike55]

Hi all,

 

Have a number of required field validators on my web form. The EnableClientScript is set to False. I also have validation summary control on my page.

 

When I hit the save button, a method called ExecuteValidation is called. This method firstly calls the individual validators.

 
me.requiredFieldValidator1.validate
me.requiredFieldValidator2.validate
me.requiredFieldValidator3.validate

 

The method then proceeds to check if the validator is correct or not.

if me.requiredFieldValidator1.isvalid = false then
 ExecuteValidation = false
end if
if me.requiredFieldValidator2.isvalid = false then
 ExecuteValidation = false
end if
if me.requiredFieldValidator3.isvalid = false then
 ExecuteValidation = false
end if

 

The problem that I am having is that I want the validation statements for requiredFieldValidator 1, 2, and 3 to appear in the order 1, 2, 3. However I practice the order is constantly changing.

 

Any suggestions on how to control the order?

IIRC you shouldn't have to manually invoke the validators on a post back - the framework should invoke them automatically.

If you want to check if things worked or not you could then check to see if a validator is valid or not or alternatively just query Page.IsValid to detect if any errors are present and act accordingly.
