Hi All

I wonder if anyone has tackled something similar…

I have a form which consists of several columns and several rows each cell having its own text field presented in a tabular format. What I am looking to achieve is that if a row has been part completed then for the remainder fields of that row to become requiredfield validated. Plus on the other hand if a particular row hasn’t been completed for the requiredfield validator to become disabled.

Does anyone have any ideas how I would go about this?

Many thanks

Rit

Hi Rit,

I am not sure I understand the problem. Can you elaborate a bit? Maybe give an example?

Hi Imar

In a nutshell, is their a way of enabling/ disabling validation on individual controls depending on whether certain other controls have been inputted into.

e.g.
After selecting the submit button...

If textbox1.Text.length > 0 Then
RequiredFieldValidatortextbox2.Enable
End If

... that sort of thing in theory.

In theory *and* in practice (almost)... The BaseValidator control (the the other validators inherit from) has an Enabled property.

You can set it to True or False, depending on the requirements.

Not sure if it applies to your situation, but you could also take a look at the ValidationGroup property: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.basevalidator.validation group(VS.80).aspx that allows you to group validators and other controls together. This allows you to group, for example, an entire row, so a button in 1 row has no influence on validators in other rows....

HtH,
