Validation inside Detailsview

_Ali · December 31st, 2013, 07:37 AM

Hi,

First i would like to say that i really enjoyed reading beginning asp.net 4.5 in c# and VB.

My question is wheenever i put validation controls in the insertitemtemplate OR edititemtemplate fields for validation inside the detailsView,neither validation happen nor postback.In this case when i hover my mouse over insert link then it say something postbackwithoption but clicking on link nothing happen

And if i remove validation controls post back happen.In this case when i hover my mouse over insert link then it say something postback.

Even if i open chapter 13 from visual studio 2012 by file -> Open website ->chapter13
and open addEditReview.aspx and view in browser and click on insert ,validation does not occur.

I spent a lot of time on google found following solution but nothing worked for me
1.Setting cause vlidation to false for insert link
2.Setting Groupvalidation for controls and insert link

Hi there,

If no postback occurs, then maybe the validation controls are working after all? Maybe you forgot to set the Text or ErrorMessage properties? Does the form submit correctly when you fill in all required fields?

Thanks for your reply.

I did set the error message and text property properly.

And even if i fill in the required fields the post back does not occurs.

For finding the solution , I created a new test web application (Not empty) instead of new website and after attaching the data base.I created just the AddEditReview.aspx and view in browser then everything is working perfectly.

so is it due to creating empty website in visual studio 2012 or something.

Please suggest me something because i want to read your book completely as it is so good.But this matter is not allowing me to go further

Thanks

Did you set up a script reference for jQuery and set the validation mode in the web.config file to WebForms as explained earlier in the book? Can you post the markup and code behind of this page as well as your web.config file?

If you post code, can you please paste it in Notepad first to remove color coding and then use the forum editor's Code toolbar button to wrap your code in code tags. Otherwise, this forum messes up the code.

Cheers,

Imar

After verifying the steps you suggested and removing the silly mistakes i made especially setting my system's time to correct, my problem is solved.

Thanks for all your help.
