Add Validation Control At Run Time

[Karl]

Can anyone tell me how to add a required field validator
control at run-time?

I have a form that the textbox controls are all added at
run-time. This all works fine.

When I add a validator control and associate it with the
textbox that was just added dynamically I get no errors,
but the validation does not take place on the server or
client side.

Is there some specail step I need to preform to wire up
the client side and sever side events? I have not been
able to find any example code showing the proper method to
perform this.

Thank you very much for the help,

Karl

How are you doing it currently?

Teemu,

I wrote a demo to send you and it started working. I
think what I was doing wrong, was not supply all the
required properties. When I used the code below, all
works just fine.

Thank you,

Karl

rf = New RequiredFieldValidator
rf.Display = ValidatorDisplay.Dynamic
rf.ErrorMessage = "You must enter a value"
rf.Text = "*"
rf.ControlToValidate = "txt" + intX.ToString
rf.EnableClientScript = True
rf.Enabled = True
rf.EnableViewState = True
rf.ToolTip = rf.ErrorMessage
rf.Visible = True
rf.ID = "rf" + intX.ToString
