Conditional validation

Oct 20th, 2009

Hi everyone,

I have a web page where a fields needs to be validated if another is not empty. e.g. 'date' needs to be checked if 'quantity' has a number in it. I’m not exactly a pro with .net and am fiddling with compare and custom validators. All help on how/if this can be done much appreciated

Thanks Ramesh S, this is great. Exactly what I was looking for.

Just in case anyone is interested , here is the same script in VB:

    Protected Sub btnValidate_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        If Not [String].IsNullOrEmpty(txtQuantity.Text) Then
            Dim qty As Integer = Integer.Parse(txtQuantity.Text)
            If qty > 0 Then
                If [String].IsNullOrEmpty(txtDate.Text) Then
                    cvValidateDate.ErrorMessage = "Date must be entered"
                    cvValidateDate.IsValid = False
                End If
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
    Protected Sub btnValidate_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        If Not [String].IsNullOrEmpty(txtQuantity.Text) Then
            Dim qty As Integer = Integer.Parse(txtQuantity.Text)
            If qty > 0 Then
                If [String].IsNullOrEmpty(txtDate.Text) Then
                    cvValidateDate.ErrorMessage = "Date must be entered"
                    cvValidateDate.IsValid = False
                End If
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
