I have page with 2 comboboxes. They both have unrelated sets of data so a cascadingcombobox did not seem to make sense. When the page renders combobox A is fine, B renders as a textbox. If I disable combobox A then B will render properly.
Here are my defintions (each combo box is sitting in its own panel).
<asp:ComboBox ID="cboRequestType" runat="server" CssClass="comboBoxes"
DropDownStyle="DropDownList" ItemInsertLocation="Append" AutoPostBack="True"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" onselectedindexchanged="cboRequestType_SelectedIndexChanged">
<asp:ListItem Selected="True" Text="Select Request Type..." Value="Select Request Type" />
</asp:ComboBox>
<asp:ComboBox ID="cboContactName" runat="server" CssClass="comboBoxes"
DropDownStyle="DropDownList" ItemInsertLocation="Append" AutoPostBack="True"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" onselectedindexchanged="cboContactName_SelectedIndexChanged">
</asp:ComboBox>
Here are the full segments and a better description of test cases.
When page loads with both comboboxes cboContactName renders as a txtbox.
If I sent pnlRequestType.visible = false, then cboContactName renders properly.
Changing cboRequestType to an element allows for cboContactName to render as a combolist.
<asp:Panel ID="pnlRequestType" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="lblRequestType" Text="Request Type" runat="server"
CssClass="comboBoxLabel" />
<asp:ComboBox ID="cboRequestType" runat="server" CssClass="comboBoxes"
DropDownStyle="DropDownList" ItemInsertLocation="Append" AutoPostBack="True"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" onselectedindexchanged="cboRequestType_SelectedIndexChanged">
<asp:ListItem Selected="True" Text="Select Request Type..." Value="Select Request Type" />
</asp:ComboBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="Select A Catagory." CssClass="fieldValidationMessage"
ControlToValidate="cboRequestType" InitialValue="Select Request Type" >
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlContact" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="lblContactName" Text="Contact" runat="server"
AssociatedControlID="cboContactName" CssClass="comboBoxLabel" />
<asp:ComboBox ID="cboContactName" runat="server" CssClass="comboBoxes"
DropDownStyle="DropDownList" ItemInsertLocation="Append" AutoPostBack="True"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" onselectedindexchanged="cboContactName_SelectedIndexChanged">
</asp:ComboBox>
</asp:Panel>

I have a validator with a bound text field (it's set via ControlToValidate). How can I make the validator's error message appear nearby another control (a label above this text field)?
Just put the validator control nearby the control where you want to show the message i.e. wherever you want to show the message just put the validator control there.
In the following example I am showing validation message near some other control not near the text box.
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="lblNameRequired" runat="server" Text="*Name :"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtNameRequired" runat="server" ValidationGroup="Validation"></asp:TextBox>
<br />
<asp:Label ID="lblGenderRequired" runat="server" Text="*Gender :"></asp:Label>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlGenderRequired" runat="server" ValidationGroup="Validation">
<asp:ListItem Selected="True" Value="-1">--Select--</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="0">Male</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="1">Female</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidatorGender" runat="server" ControlToValidate="ddlGenderRequired"
Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="Gender is Required" Operator="NotEqual" ValidationGroup="Validation"
ValueToCompare="-1"></asp:CompareValidator>
<br />
<asp:Label ID="lblValidation" runat="server" Text="Fields marked with * are required"></asp:Label>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidatorName" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtNameRequired"
Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="Name is Required" ValidationGroup="Validation"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<br />
<asp:Button ID="btnValidate" runat="server" Text="Validate Input" ValidationGroup="Validation" />
<br />
</form>
Hope this helps you.

<asp:ListItem Value="Choose">[ Select Item ... ]</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="True">Yes</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="False">No</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="testRequiredFieldValidator" runat="server" ValidationGroup="testValidationGroup"

</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<br />
<asp:Button ID="testButton" runat="server" OnClick="testButton_Click" Text="Button"

Could Any one help me to know what's the issue in my code ??
Please call
testRequiredFieldValidator.databind()
in page load event and let me know if this is still an issue.
Set InitialValue of RequiredFieldValidator on page_load event in aspx.cs page.
I have a GridView with its columns being TextBoxes and after user made modifications to data within GridView I have a "Commit" Button thats located outside the GridView and also located under a different Content within the page... How do I set the Validator to work even though I have the validator set correctly but when I click on the "Commit" button it doesn't check for the validation and I believe its because the button is not inside the GridView or UpdatePanel... Is there a way to get around that? or A better approach?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Have you tried setting the following properties on the Commit button:
CausesValidation="true" ValidationGroup="vgMyGroup"
Also, try setting the validation controls property: ValidationGroup="vgMyGroup"
Another suggestion could be to do a postback on the Commit button's click event and check for
if(Page.IsValid)...
I would be interested to see if setting the ValidationGroup property persists across the ASP content controls..
I have two search buttons on a page, one linked to a dropdown list and one linked to a dropdown list with a textbox for more search criteria. I have required field validators on all of the aforementioned controls. When I choose something from the first dropdown and click the appropriate search button, the field validator for the textbox fires, disabling the first search button. Is there a way to localize/isolate the validators to only associate with one of the two buttons? Code below:
<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" HorizontalAlign="Center">
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Search by status:"></asp:Label>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DdlStatus" runat="server"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="Status" DataValueField="Status" AppendDataBoundItems="true">
<asp:ListItem Text="Choose a status" Value="0" Selected="True"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:Button ID="BtnStatusSearch" runat="server" Text="Search" onclick="BtnStatusSearch_Click" />
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MyConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [Status] FROM [Status]"></asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:Label ID="LblSearch" runat="server" Text="Other search:"></asp:Label>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DdlSearch" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Selected="True" Value="0">Choose search criteria</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="1">Broker</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">Customer</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="3">Customer State</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="4">Broker State</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList><asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RfvDdlSearch" runat="server" Display="Dynamic"
ErrorMessage="Required field" ControlToValidate="DdlSearch" CssClass="ErrorMessage"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<asp:TextBox ID="TbSearch" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvTbSearch" runat="server" Display="Dynamic"
ErrorMessage="Required field" ControlToValidate="TbSearch" CssClass="ErrorMessage"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<asp:Button ID="BtnSearch" runat="server" onclick="BtnSearch_Click" Text="Search" />
Yes, you can use the ValidationGroup property and set that validation group to your button control: ValidationGroup="button1"
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfv" runat="server" ValidationGroup="button1"
ErrorMessage="*"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<asp:Button ID="btnLogin" runat="server" Text="Login" ValidationGroup="button1" OnClick="btnLogin_Click" />
I am having two controls in that i have set the required field vaildators for that controls.my issues is for the time being i have set that two controls disabled but this required validator is checking if the two controls in the disabled mode.i am checking that required field validator while clicking the save button.how to overcome this?
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" Width="150" runat="server" TabIndex="17" Enabled="false"
AppendDataBoundItems="true">
<asp:ListItem Selected="True" Text="--Select Company--"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator3" runat="server" ControlToValidate="DropDownList1"
ValidationGroup="UserDetailsGroup" InitialValue="--Select Company--" ErrorMessage="*"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
texboxcontrol:
<asp:TextBox ID="AcquiredDate" runat="server" Width="150" TabIndex="18" Enabled="false"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator2" runat="server" ControlToValidate="AcquiredDate"
ValidationGroup="UserDetailsGroup" ErrorMessage="*"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
here the save button is the image button?
<asp:ImageButton ID="Save" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/save-button.gif"
OnClick="Save_Click" TabIndex="41" ValidationGroup="UserDetailsGroup" />
How to overcome this pblm either in server side or client side?
Disable the Validators:
RequiredFieldValidator3.Enabled = DropDownList1.Enabled
RequiredFieldValidator2.Enabled = AcquiredDate.Enabled
