RegularExpressionValidator

[Neil Zanella]

Hello,

It seems to me that the ASP.NET RegularExpressionValidator ASP.NET control
only works whenever the input field is not empty, which means that in most
practical scenarios this will have to be combined
with a RequiredFieldValidator. Is this correct?
I would like to know where this is documented.

Thanks,

Neil

you are correct, the validators (other than required) are only called if
there is a value. i know of no docs, but if you read the validation code,
you can verify it.
