This article provide you knowlege about how you can handle multiple form submittion in ASP.Net

Sample Image - Multiple_form_submittion.jpg

Introduction

In past I am not able to use two different section of form submit in ASP.Net 1.0 or 1.1using validation control. Now .Net Framework 2.0, it is possible to submit no of different section of form. On the other hand, in normal HTML we can place two or more form object for posting the data. Asp.Net can’t support the multiple form tag but there was different process to do same.

<asp:Label  ID="lblUsername"
            AssociatedControlID="txtUsername"
            Text="User Name : "
            Runat="server" />
<asp:TextBox    id="txtUsername"
                ValidationGroup="loginval"
                runat="server"/>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator
            ID="validator1"
            runat="server"
            Display="Dynamic"
            ControlToValidate="txtUsername"
            ValidationGroup="loginval"
            Text="*(Required)" />


 <asp:Button id="btnSubmit"
            ValidationGroup="loginval"
            runat="server"
            text="Login"
            OnClick="onClick_btnSubmit" />


Above code show you how you will perform the submit function each section respective validation control. For separating each section by “ValidationGroup” keyword, you can seen here I used “ValidationGroup” same for the textfield, validator control and button on which I will display the message. You can create multiple submittion for no of group submittion of data distinctly.

Hello!

It's pretty simply but you must spend a loooong time to study WebForm and Page class internals. Anyway I'll publish the code as open source.
There is another opensource implementation called WilsonWebForm but it has some isssues (primary when working with get method, validation and viewstate is not removed or optimized - this is what I've solved).
You can check my component working on my website www.dotnetjob.com as I wrote before. If you would try to search for a job then this is using custom WebForm class using GET method. Then you'll see it's ID in URL query as "openwf". Beside of this form you can find the stardard one below enabling postback pagination.

I had old layout of dotnetjob.com a week ago; ASP.NET login control in top of the page so I had page layout "POST above GET above POST" forms on my page. And it was working without any problems.

This control is functional in 1.x and 2.x Wink | ;)

There is also another solution and it's using PHP + our .NET compiler Phalanger. It's working GREAT and you can benefit from simple and powerful PHP rendering + strong .NET backend Wink | ;) You can only choose.

P.S. I sent this enhancement to Microsoft as MVP enhancement proposal and I was told that developers don't need to use multiple or GET forms per page Laugh | :laugh: Laugh | :laugh:
