I wrote an article on this and many other issues with validation: www.aspalliance.com/699.

I changed the code as requested... and it is working as should now. Could you explain why it didn't work as explained in the book I am using for learning. Just hoping to learn more.

Thanks for all your help!

Surround the code in your SubmitHelpdesks routine with:

If IsValid
....
End If

It might be that the client side validation isn't working because the validator controls don't render client script for the specific browser (I've seen this happen on certain FireFox versions).

So checking the Page's IsValid property is always recommended practice.

Cheers,

Validators not Validating

Would anyone know why the validations on the page below wouldn't work. I am going through a book and learning asp.net and for some reason when I put in the last subroutine to insert the record the validation checks on the controls on the form no longer work.

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>The Dorknozzle.com Intranet Site</title>
<script runat="server" language="VB">
Dim objConn As New SQLConnection("Server=XXXXXXX; database=Dorknozzle; uid=XXXXXXX; Pwd=XXXXXXXX;")
Dim objCmd As SQLCommand
Dim objRdr As SQLDataReader

Sub Page_Load()
If Not IsPostBack Then
   objConn.Open()

objCmd = New SQLCommand("Select * From HelpDeskCategories", objConn)
objRdr = objCmd.ExecuteReader()
ddlCategory.DataSource = objRdr
ddlCategory.DataValueField = "CategoryID"
ddlCategory.DataTextField = "Category"
ddlCategory.DataBind()
objRdr.Close()

objCmd = New SQLCommand("Select * From HelpDeskSubjects", objConn)
objRdr = objCmd.ExecuteReader()
ddlSubject.DataSource = objRdr
ddlSubject.DataValueField = "SubjectID"
ddlSubject.DataTextField = "Subject"
ddlSubject.DataBind()
objRdr.Close()

objConn.Close()
End If
End Sub

Sub SubmitHelpDesk(s As Object, e As EventArgs)
objCmd = New SQLCommand("INSERT INTO HelpDesk (EmployeeID, StationNumber, CategoryID, SubjectID, Description, StatusID)" & _
"VALUES (@EmployeeID, @StationNumber, @CategoryID, @SubjectID, @Description, @StatusID)", objConn)
objCmd.Parameters.Add("@EmployeeID", 5)
objCmd.Parameters.Add("@StationNumber", txtStationNum.Text)
objCmd.Parameters.Add("@CategoryID", ddlCategory.SelectedItem.Value)
objCmd.Parameters.Add("@SubjectID", ddlSubject.SelectedItem.Value)
objCmd.Parameters.Add("@Description", txtDescription.Text)
objCmd.Parameters.Add("@StatusID", 1)
objConn.Open()
objCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
objConn.Close()
Response.Redirect("helpdesk.aspx")
End Sub
