Yes use Style Sheet for that

<br />
.bodyTextBoldCSm {font-size:70%; font-weight: bold; text-align : left;}<br />

If you want something you never had,
do something you have never done!

Ok so I have a form

within the form I have two buttons Amend / submit

<asp:button id="btnAmend" onclick="btnAmend_Click" runat="server" width="192px" visible="False"
text="Amend">

<asp:button id="btnPost" onclick="btnPost_Click" runat="server" width="192px" text="Submit">

both have the caues validation attribute set to true but only the submit button actually causes validation when pressed. Is this because the submit button is called post?

any way to also get the amend button to cause validation also

Thanks

Colum

CausesValidation=true;

On your button propertys make sure that is set.

Also why have to buttons? Ammend and submit? Why arent you just calling the other function, if critera for submit is already met? I am assuming, your UPDATEING a record with your ammend button, versus your SUBMIT button, is being used for the first time the data is being submited?

yea I have the causesValidation=true on both buttons

yea that's correct I have two buttons amend and submit. submit for the first time I submit at this stage the amend button is not shown, then when amending I show the amend button and hide the submit button, is this logic flawed?

Yes, you do not need two buttons. You should check if the record is a new record within the same function of your submit button, if it is use your select statement, else use your UPDATE statement.

I know its easily said, but harder written if your a NEWBIE like me, and I am sure users on here will tear this apart, but I've done it a way thats not correct but only one button!

This is my submit button.

If you look down in my catch, if there is an error (IE cant do it because it would create a duplicate record), then it supposed to give my an error message, what I did was throw in my update command there, so after it tried select statement if it couldnt do that it would try my update statment. Below is my update statment.

Hi all.

I have this vexxing problem which showed up when I moved from my dev/test box to a production server. What I'm trying to do is get the pwdLastSet property from Active Diretory. I'm using a DirectorySearcher object to get the pwdLastSet property. Once you get the property, you can cast the data to a long to get the total ticks since 1970. This works like a dream on my XP/IIS 5.1/ASP.Net 2.0 box. Once I moved it out to the Windows 2000/IIS 5.0/ASP.net 2.0 production server, the casting fails. It is my understanding that the DirectorySearcher object is supposed to marshall the data from Active Directory into something that's easier to use. I see this being done in my debugging sessions on my dev box. I would love to setup a debugging session on the production server, but that's a whole other set of issues. I do notice though if I take that whole class where the error is happening, put it into a simple C# windows app, compile it on my dev box, it will run correctly on the production server. I'm thinking that when it gets compiled on the production server, the marshalling doesn't happen corretly. I'm now leaning towards sticking the offending code into a dll. Has anybody else seen this type of issue? Is there some compile time flags that can be set?

Keith

An update. I tried to precompile the whole site and making the offending class a dll by itself. Both options give me invalid casts still. Is there additional compilation going on? It just seems to work everywhere besides inside the asp.net worker process for Win2000...

Just to cap this off, whatever the problem was became fixed after doing a iisreset. I discovered this on accident while attempting to get remote debugging running. So one problem down, one to go.

I am trying to change the text shown on the navigation buttons on the Wizard control.

I have tried using the following code:

Wizard1.StepNextButtonText = "click me";
Wizard1.StartNextButtonText = "Go";
Wizard1.FinishCompleteButtonText = "End";

For some reason, this only works for Step Next buttons - I cannot change the text on the buttons on the Start or Finish steps.

I have tried setting the StepType as "Auto" or "Start" & "Finish" but this does not fix the problem.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong ?

Hello All,
Can we include the SQL-Server2000 database named 'dataFile' in ASP.NET web based project. If yes plz give the steps to solve my problem

And also what is the use of "Generate SQL Script" in SQL Server2000

Thanx in advance

No. SQL Server is a server based database, not a file based database. You can, however, include a backup and you can use some SQL to restore that backup.

The Knowledge wrote:

This is going to sound really obvious: The purpose of "Generate SQL Script" is to write a SQL Script to a file. The script, if run, will recreate the objects that you specified. Why don't you play with it in a development or testing environment? Find out what it does. Explore. Experiment. Learn.

hi

i am trying to validate a string that contains a date
using DateTime.parse function

but this function accepts for example the date "31-feb-2007" !!

how can i validate the date to be valid not just the format .

thanks

hi,

i think u can use a regularexpression along with the parser....its up to u

arun

Use this function for date validation.

//Date validator
public static bool validateDateTime(object _datetime)
{
try{
DateTime testdate = DateTime.Parse(_datetime as string);
return true;
}
catch{
return false;
}
}

if you are using VB.NET there is a function - IsDate() which can be used to validate the date.
you could also use compare or range validators, depending on your choice and use, to check the data type. but i don't think these will validate if the date string contains alphabets as expressed in your example.

but if you are using C#.NET, i think try-catch block (as someone already mentioned) will do the job. Smile | :)

hope this helps

regards
Smile | :)

thank u all
the try/catch block works fine
