ASP CompareValidator and NOT submitting form

I have a textbox and a submit button. The textbox is a date-entry field.

Attached to it, I have a compare validator with the type set to "date". It does validate and show an error message.

Problem is, the user can still click on the submit button. I'd like to prevent that. If the user has entered something like 03/hello/2011, he or she should not be able to submit the form.

How can I accomplish this?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jason

Solution

  • Associate the validator and the submit button in a single validation group. Both of them have the property validation group. Provide a name say pageValidation to both the control's property.
