In Infopath 2010 how do I add the validation for a "I agree" checkbox before submitting the webform into sharepoint?
Any tips will be appreciated.
Thanks :)
Create a checkbox on your InfoPath form and set it to required. This way the user needs to check it before he / she is able to submit the form. If required doesn't cut it, just add a validation to the checkbox, so it needs to be true.
For set validations for multiple checkboxes in INFOPATH:
Here a nice solution~
Sset the checkbox column as single line of text and make it mandatory in Sahrepoint list. Now in Infopath drag that coulmn and change control to checkbox..do the same of other checkboxes and it works :) hope it helps someone

I have a situation where I have a form that has some validation controls for required fields. They fire just fine if the user does not have the required fields.
The thing is I also have a menu above the form which allows the user to select another location which is then reflected on the form.
This is where I run into an issue...
If the user already selected a location and then wishes to change to a different location, the form does not allow for this as required fields have not been entered.
I was wondering if there is a way to tell the validation controls not to fire in these situation.
My other option would be to do a validation on click of the submit button in which case I would not be able to take advantage of the ASP.NET required validation control.
Basically I want the validation to occur for the required fields only if the submit button is clicked.
Look at CausesValidation and ValidationGroup properties. I think they will help you to solve your problem
On the menu item set CausesValidation to false.
You can also use validation groups and set the validationgroup property of the validator and the submit button to the same value.
I have a web form. There are many different sections. I can say that each section displays data of a datatable. At each section I have OK and Cancel buttons. When I press OK any changes to the table in the database takes place. I've also put some Requiredfieldvalidators. Let's say I'm inserting a new record in the section one and the fields are correctly typed. When I press OK I get error message raised by the rest of the validators that are on the other sections. Isn't there any way that when I press OK button of a particular section to get validation errors of that same area? So what I probably need is a button that will not serve as the hole page submitter but rather a submitter of a specific section.
Place a ValidationGroup on the RequiredFieldValidator's. Then place the same ValidationGroup on the correct submit button. When its clicked, only validation controls that are a part of the group are validated.

I think janhartmann is correct ValidationGroup can help you solve the issue.Have a look at this article
I have a form that I need the user to be able to type something in a textbox, after they tab out have them enter the same value in another textbox in proximity to it to assure they entered it incorrectly. After that, the second textbox is to disappear and they will continue to the next field without ever having a postback.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do this most efficiently? Is there a control that will facilitate this for me?
You can do it by javascript easily. on the onblur or onchange clientside events you should check two textbox's values.
An alternative option : maybe you want to use CompareValidator to compare values of your form elements. Don't forget to set EnableClientScript=true and use ValidationSummary control.
I have what should be a fairly simple ASP.NET question, and one I thought I had found a workaround for in the past, but this time I'm having no end of bother trying to get a working solution for it.
I have an ASP.NET page with a number of input controls and a series of form validators for them. I wish the page to have separate forms where only some validators are fired by submit button A and others are fired by submit button B. An example would be a site that included a site search box with validation, and a comments section or form to fill in on the same page. When submitting comments you would not want the search validation to fire, and when running a search you would not want the comment form validators to fire.
What I need is a kind of 'validation panel', or separate form tags to enclose these sections in. Can anyone help?
You can use ValidationGroup property for this.
But don't forget, you can not have more then one form in your asp.net page.
