To elaborate my question, I have shopping cart website. Also I have textboxes like username, address, contact etc. All of those has the required field validator. However I also do have the "view profile" and "log out" link button on the page. When I try to clike those links, its not letting me because the required fields are not filled up. Is there any trick I can do with this? Thank you for any answers :)
Here is my code.
<asp:TextBox ID="txtCustomerName" runat="server" Width="231px"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="Customer Name is Required." ForeColor="Red" ControlToValidate="txtCustomerName"
></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left">
Phone No:
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtCustomerPhoneNo" runat="server" Width="231px"
MaxLength="11"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator2" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="Phone Number is required." ForeColor="Red" ControlToValidate="txtCustomerPhoneNo"
></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left">
EmailID:
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtCustomerEmailID" runat="server" Width="231px"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator3" runat="server"
ErrorMessage=" Email Address is Required." ForeColor="Red" ControlToValidate="txtCustomerEmailID"
></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</td>
and here is my link codes.
protected void link_ViewProfile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("viewprofile.aspx");
}
protected void link_Logout_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Session.Clear();
Response.Redirect("Home.aspx");
}
For those link button on which you want to run validation add validationgroup attribute. For Example
<asp:button id="Button2"
text="Validate"
causesvalidation="true"
validationgroup="LocationInfoGroup"
runat="Server" />
Also add validationgroup attribute in RequiredFieldValidator
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator2" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="Phone Number is required." ForeColor="Red" ControlToValidate="txtCustomerPhoneNo"
validationgroup="LocationInfoGroup"
></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
