aspx thread: CompareValidator Controls - validating against dropdown control


Message #1 by "Jacques Leclerc" <jleclerc2@h...> on Thu, 9 Nov 2000 12:23:43 -0500
All of the information and examples that I can find have the

CompareValidator control associated with a Textbox. Can the validator

controls be used against a dropdown? If it can, how do you specify if the

compare is against the value or text property of the dropdown?



Any information will be appreciated.



Jacques

Hi,



Here you have an example.

To test it write SE or EN or US in the Country code textbox.

After this choose a country from the ListBox.

An Error will be displayed if you not coose the right one.



<%@ PAGE LANGUAGE="VB"%>

<HTML>

<BODY>

<FORM RUNAT="Server">



Country code: ( SE or EN or US ) <BR>

<INPUT ID="FirstName" RUNAT="Server"><BR>

Country:<BR>



<ASP:DropDownList id="Customers" RUNAT="Server">

<ASP:ListItem VALUE="SE">Sweden</ASP:ListItem>

<ASP:ListItem VALUE="EN">ENgland</ASP:ListItem>

<ASP:ListItem VALUE="US">USA</ASP:ListItem>

</ASP:DropDownList>



<asp:CompareValidator id="CompareFieldValidator1" runat="server"

      ForeColor="Red"

      ControlToValidate="Customers"

      ControlToCompare="FirstName"

      Type="String"

      Operator="Equal"

      ErrorMessage="Error"/>



<INPUT TYPE="Submit" RUNAT="Server">



</FORM>



</BODY>

</HTML>



I hope this will help you.
