WebControl validator not working on response.redirect

[Lenine Jeganathan]

I have stumbled into a strange problem with asp.net
requiredfieldvalidator. Here is the code. This is part of a webform
aspx which gets invoked in two ways.

scenario 1) One from a datagrid hyperlink
scenario 2) By way of response.redrect.

The validator works fine when coming into the page from the datagrid
URL ( scenario 1) and not when I come in by way of response.redirect.
In the second case it does validate when I post (causing validation)
but not when I tab through. The tab through works fine in the senario
1.

Thanks for any help,
Lenine

Check to see if response.redirect is filling in the proper value in
querystring. I suspect you may need to manually refill using
Request.QueryString in the latter case. If so use Customvalidator and mimic
the functionality of RequiredFields vallidator.

Yeah, I had to settle with a Customvalidator. Thanks for your help
