Don't know what is wrong here. This is a page developed by someone else and I am trying to fix one of the issue.
Scenario:
ASP.NET site.
Login.aspx has <asp:login>
and there are three validation groups.
Login.aspx.cs is a partial class of "user_login".
Each validation group has a textbox and an associate customvalidator. All three custom validators gets triggered when something is entered in corresponding textbox but issue is only the first textbox (bound to validationgroup = 1) returns false when validation fails.
For 2nd and 3rd, the customvalidator get triggered but when there is validation issue and even after setting "args.IsValid = false;", the process continues with what needs to be executed further.
Don't know what is going on wrong here. I would like the customvalidator to return false. Worst case, are there any ways to return the control back to the 'textbox' when validation fails?
Below is the custom validator used.
<asp:CustomValidator ID="ExistingIdValidator" runat="server" ControlToValidate="NewUserName"
ValidateEmptyText="true" ValidationGroup="NewUserForm"
OnServerValidate="NewUserNameCheck_ServerValidate">
</asp:CustomValidator>
protected void NewUserNameCheck_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
CustomValidator validator = source as CustomValidator;
if (validator != null)
{
string NewuserNameValue = this.NewUserName.Text;
Guid registeredUserId = (Guid)Membership.GetUser(NewuserNameValue).ProviderUserKey;
if (registeredUserId != null)
{
validator.IsValid = false;
this.FailureText_New.Text = "This UserID already exists. Please login as existing user";
args.IsValid = false;
}
}
}
