ValidationSummary reuse

[Jeronimo Bertran]

I have a we page that uses Validators and a ValidationSummary to show the
results. However, after all input fields are verified I do additional
verification on the server side and if there was a problem that cannot be
determined by the validators I show the error in much the same way as the
validators do. Can I use the same ValidationSummary control to display a
validation error in this case?

Thanks

Jeronimo

Hi Jeronimo,

Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup. From your description, the problem you met is
how to reuse the ValidatioSummary control to display error message when
your custom validation operations complete at serverside, yes?

From my research, the ValidationSummary control is tightly bind with the
asp.net validation controls , there is no exsiting interfaces to manually
invoke its displaying. However, we can make use of the CustomValidator
conttrol which can help do our custom validation operatios( in its
"ServerValidate" event).
So we can add a custom validation control on the page(turn off client
validation) and put our own validation
code in "ServerValidate" event. When the validation fails, just set the
ServerValidateEventArgs.IsValid to "false", the ValicationSummary will
displaying the error message of the CustomValication control.

HTH. Thanks,
