  Length of String for Validation

  Aug 04, 2003 08:02 AM|LINK

  I am trying to have the length og a string be bwteen 4 and 15 characters long. I cannot seem to get this to work. Currently I have: <asp:regularexpressionvalidator ControlToValidate="AccountUsername" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="* Invalid Username" ID="CheckUserName" runat="server" Text="* Invalid Username" ValidationExpression="^\d{4,15}$" Also, does anyone know of a complete reference for validators? Thanks

  Hi, Change your code as follows and try

  <asp:regularexpressionvalidator ControlToValidate="AccountUsername" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="* Invalid Username" ID="CheckUserName" runat="server" Text="* Invalid Username" ValidationExpression=".{4,15}"

  Regards Ram

  That works great unless they leave the form blank and try to submit the form. In that case, the error does not come up. It will only come up if they type something in first and then tab to the next colum in the form. How can you get it so it shows up on no data as well? Thanks
