RequiredFieldValidator showing an image

[Fernando Lopes]

Hi.
I want to show an image in a requiredfield validator instead of "*".
So, I 'm set the requiredfieldvalidator attributes like following:

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id=rfvFirstName
ControlToValidate="AddressName"
Display="Dynamic"
ErrorMessage="First Name Is Required"
Runat="server"
CssClass="AlertText"
EnableClientScript="True"
ValidationGroup="AddressManager">
<img src="../../Images/img_miss.gif" />
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

But always show the "*".
What can I doing wrong?

Thanks
Fernando Lopes

Fernando,

The text property should be set to your image source. I don't know a
lot about CSS but if your "AlertText" CSS class has text in it, that
would probably override the image source in the text property. Try
removing the CSS class attribute and changing the text property to your
image. Also, I was unable to find a Validation Group property when
looking at the RequiredFieldValidator control. Am I missing something?

This works fine for me. The version of the framework I am using is 1.1. The
tag I tested is below.
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="rfvFirstName"
ControlToValidate="txtDiscussionNote" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="First
Name Is Required"
Runat="server" CssClass="AlertText" EnableClientScript="True"
validationgroup="sdfasd">
<img src="Images/FMSLogo.gif" />
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
May be you can post html portion of your aspx page for someone to help you
out.

Hi Corey.
I tried what did you said, but it doesn't work.
I putted this:
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id=RequiredFieldValidator1
runat="server"
ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator"
controltovalidate="AddressPrefix">
<img src="../../Images/arrow_validation.gif" />
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

In true, I was setting the Text attribute. In html source, the Text attribute is anything write inside control tags.
So, in design view, I'm set the Text attribute correctly.

Thansk again.

Okay Gopal!
Maybe the problem is my framework.
I'm using 2.2.
Probably is it.
Is there any asp.net 2.0 newsgroup? Do you know anyone?
But, if it helps, see my html code below:

<table class="nb bkg2" width="100%">

<tr>

<td nowrap="nowrap" colspan="4">

<asp:Button id="NewAddress" runat="server" width="150px"
onclick="NewAddress_Click" skinid="new"></asp:Button>

<asp:Button id="EditAddress" runat="server" width="150px"
onclick="EditAddress_Click" enabled="False"></asp:Button>

<asp:Button id="DeleteAddress" runat="server" width="150px" enabled="False"
onclick="DeleteAddress_Click" skinid="del"></asp:Button>

<asp:Button id="SetPrimaryAddress" runat="server" width="150px"
enabled="False" onclick="SetPrimaryAddress_Click"></asp:Button>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td nowrap="nowrap" colspan="4">

<asp:GridView id="GridAddresses" runat="server" width="100%"

2.0 is still beta. You may search Visual Studio .Net 2005 newsgroups for
help...Good luck.
