I have a page with two sets of controls, with ValidationGroup set differently for each set, but if I attempt to fill in one form correctly, the validators for the other form stop the Click event from firing.
I've noticed that it's behaving normally client-side, but the button then causes a postback event and the server validators do not seem to be honouring the validation groups. I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong. Surely the built in validators all support validation groups on the server side?
Below is a complete standalone example:
<%# Page Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">
protected void SubmitButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Page.Validate();
if (Page.IsValid) label.Text = "OK: " + ((Button)sender).ID.ToString();
}
</script>

Remove the explicit full page validation - that is this line:
Page.Validate(); it disregards the validation groups.
You'll notice that Page.Validate() has also override that allows you to specify the exact validation group - like Page.Validate("RIGHT"). This is intended for framework purposes; web form infrastructure already calls the proper Validate() for you so no need to call it explicitly.

I have a Datalist with binddata from code behind and I'm trying to add an ajax modalpopupextender to each item. This modalpopup needs to open the right panel with the problem that the target control id it's always the same button in the end of the page.
I am getting the radiobutton selected but i can't open the modalpopup that is equivalent to it. It always opens the first panel.
Can anyone help me? Is this even possible?

Edit1: I've tried to add the a custom string to the panel id like this <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "id") %> . But this doesn't even compile. Any chance of making this work?
You use server-side OnClick event to show the popup. It just shows the first (or last) data evaluated during page render.
To change ModalPopup's content you need to use OnClientClick event + asynchronous call to fill the popup with the data you need.
Here is the example of using client events with ModalPopup.
I have a asp.net web form Page which uses master page also.
This is a simple page which displays some text and has a form, this page also allows user to upload resume in .doc, .docx & pdf format.
Problem with this code is that i am not able to trigger

Code Behind
protected void btnUploadCV_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// code is here
}
So far i am not able to figure out what i s blocking the any button inside from firing. Yes i did even put a simple button to test even that didn't fire.
I am not sure if it is Validation or Update Panel which is creating problem.
I tried using Trigger that didnt work
I tried setting
<asp:Button ID="btnUploadCV" runat="server" Text="Upload" CssClass="btnUpload" onclick="btnUploadCV_Click" CausesValidation="false" />
protected void btnUploadCV_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Page.Validate();
if (Page.IsValid == true)
{
// your code here
}
}
My problem is it deosn't even enter code block of button for some reason.
Just to add further i am using cascading dropdown for country and cities i am not sure if that is causing any problem I am also using two panels one has the form control and after successful submission i hide this panel & show the other panel with success message all this code with UpdatePanel.
Only way out of this i see is to upload all files main form button Send Message rather than having individual button for all file upload control
UPDATE: I also tried this approach even this doesn't work
Please understand the concept
Update Panel is used for partial post back which is today we call AJAX
However AJAX cannot be used to upload file to the server
AJAX uses xmlHttpRequest which do not support file upload.
So, don't think that its a bug from Microsoft. Even today also, we don't have any javascript library which will support FileUpload using AJAX. All AJAX fileuploaders that you find on internet are using Flash :)
This is the limitation of protocol. Use any other jquery plugin to upload file. Update panel will not work for this.
FileUpload control doesn't work with asynchronous postbacks.To make this work in your application, follow below steps
1.) Place a <asp:ScriptManager /> on the page.
if you are using master page in your application and your web page uses the master page, place script manager in master page. If you don't want master page to have script manager,you can also place script manager on specific web pages anyways.
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
2.) After this, Add <Triggers> for the button btnUploadCV in your Update panel.
<Triggers>
<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="btnUploadCV" />
</Triggers>
And rest of your upload button OnClick handler looks like:
protected void btnUploadCV_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (FileUpload1.HasFile)
{
fileName = FileUpload1.FileName;
FileUpload1.SaveAs("~/UploadedData/" + fileName);
...
}
}
I have spent hours Googling and searching past questions but have struggled to get anywhere with those answers (be it I can't get it into my solution correctly or it isn't suitable for me as they don't have master pages).
My question is, I have a couple of asp.net pages which can take a while to load (sometimes 5 seconds+) as there is a lot of data being requested from a database on the Page_Load method. To stop users from thinking that the page has crashed and either refreshing the page or doing something else, I want to put up a Loading message hiding everything else on the page (apart from the menu) while it loads.
I am using ASP.Net 4.0 with master pages and coding in C#.
The one where I get the most success is using the UpdatePanel on my master page where the content template covers the contentplaceholder, however I know this is not the best way to go about it and anyway it only shows up once, i.e. The user logs in, the loading message appears and once all the data has loaded on the home page (dashboard.aspx) the loading message disappears, which is kind of what I want. However if the user goes away from that page and then clicks home the loading message never appears again, just takes a while to load. It also never appears for any other page that takes a noticeable time to load.
Below is the body of the master.aspx
<body>
<form runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">

Could you please show me the best way to go about it and where I am going wrong? Also how I can hide the ContentTemplate when the UpdateProgress template is showing that would be great?
Thanks.
Okay so I figured it out what I was doing wrong, I thought I would post what I did to hopefully help someone else who might end up with the same issues...
Basically I hadn't thought about it logically. There are controls outside the update panel such as a NavigationMenu which would never fire the update progress because they had nothing to do with the Panel! I had to add triggers to the update panel to deal with all the things that happen outside the panel.
So, in my master page I had the following code
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MainContent" runat="server" />
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="NavigationMenu" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:UpdateProgress ID="progress" runat="server" DynamicLayout="true" DisplayAfter="0">
<ProgressTemplate>
<div id="overlay">
<div id="modalprogress">
<div id="theprogress">
<asp:Image ID="loader" runat="server" ImageAlign="AbsMiddle" ImageUrl="~/images/loader.gif" />
Please wait...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
<asp:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender ID="UpdatePanel1_UpdatePanelAnimationExtender"
runat="server" Enabled="True" TargetControlID="UpdatePanel1">
</asp:UpdatePanelAnimationExtender>
Hopefully that will help someone else!
You can use UpdateProgress control. You can get it From Toll box under Ajax Extensions Tab.
I am describing you a scenario:
Suppose I have One Upadate Panel name UpdatePnl1 , In that I have a Button Say GO.when we hit on go it should redirect to another page. before that it will promt you please wait.
Now my Code will be like that
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePnl1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="BtnGO" runat="server" Text="GO" onclick="BtnGO_Click"/>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:Updatepanel>
Button click code:
protected void BtnGO_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("Example.aspx");
}
Now here is the code for UpdateProgress what you need to add
<asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress1" runat="server" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="UpdatePnl1" >
<ProgressTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="LblWaitMsg" runat="server" Text="Processing Request, Please Wait..."></asp:Label>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
Note: Your page Should contain ScriptManager.
I've a simple page in one of our web applications, which has the following markup:
<%# Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="NewUpload.aspx.cs" Inherits="Mass_Upload.NewUpload" MasterPageFile="~/Master" Title="Document Mass Upload" %>

</asp:Content>
It USED to work fine, but now, and without apparent change to code/design, both the "Upload" and "Cancel" buttons no longer work.
Putting a breakpoint in the codebehind's Page_Load() method shows that it is only called when the page is initially loaded, and not when the button is pressed.
Similarly, putting a breakpoint in the "BtnUpload_Click" event shows it is never called.
This is now not working both on my own development machine AND on the client's server (both when browsing to the servers page from my machine AND from the server itself).
It's important to stress that, between this working and it now not working, I am 90% sure nothing has changed in regards to the code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the customer is rightly anxious - and i'm clueless as to what's causing it!
EDIT #1
Here's the codebehind for one of the buttons:
protected void BtnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (DataAccess.CheckIfMassUploadAlreadyExists(fuFilename.FileName))
{
lblError.Text = "A file with the specified name already exists within the system.";
return;
}
else
{
try
{
UploadFile();
}

Here's the reason.. and it's a really annoying reason too!
THIS:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Help/HelpPopup.js" />
Should be THIS:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Help/HelpPopup.js"></script>
Whoever decided the script tag needs to be treated differently to every other HTML tag, needs to be locked in a room with Justin Bieber.
First off all you should check your Validators and perhabs, comment them out for a test.
Is it possible that there are JavaScript-Errors showing on your page?
An ASP-Button is calling a JavaScript-Funktion (WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions), if there is a JavaScript-Error "before" this line, sometimes you can't press a button.
apparently a client side "return false" is preventing the callback, this could be one of two reasons:
1-the validators always return not valid
2-some client script being called on the button returns false;
At the risk of being down voted for posting an answer to the title question which does not appear to be the OP's problem... I will offer this suggestion which fixed my similar problem:
<body background="images/GlobeBg.png" bgproperties="fixed">
</body>
Problem is, 'bgproperties' is NOT a valid attribute name even though some guys on the internet said it was. Other than an unnoticed squiggle underline in VWD 2008 Express, no error was emitted and the page otherwise looked normal. Simply, the update button and other input controls didn't work.
The cause for this for me was that a validator on another view in the same page was being fired, due to it being apart of the same validation group.So this prevented the post back.
Here's my forms layout:
<body>
<p>Note that this form doesn't actually do anything
except illustrate the Required Field Validator.</p>
<form id="frmValidator" method="post" runat="server">
Usuario:
<asp:TextBox id="txtUserName" runat="server" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="userNameValidator" ControlToValidate="txtUserName" ErrorMessage='<img src="../Images/no.png">' runat="server" />
<br />
Contrasena:
<asp:TextBox id="txtPassword" runat="server" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="passwordValidator" ControlToValidate="txtPassword" ErrorMessage='<img src="../Images/no.png">' runat="server" />
<br />
<asp:button id="btnSubmit" text="Submit" runat="server" />
</form>
<p>Hint: Try submitting it before you enter something.</p>
</body>
This is a simple layout for just learning purposes, but they align themselves badly. They just smooch together.
Someone suggested I just prace the 'space' key to create the whitespace between them, but that doesn't align them at all. They can never be correctly aligned.
Someone said use tables, but I loathe the idea of using tables for layout.
How can I achieve a simple
organizational style between these two
fields?
To expand on Creasey's answer.
<div style="width=150">Usuario:</div>
<asp:TextBox id="txtUserName" runat="server" />
...
<div style="width=150">Contrasena:</div>
<asp:TextBox id="txtPassword" runat="server" />
wrap you labels in a div with a class. Then set the min-width the label class so that it is as wide as you need it, then all your fields/labels will line up.
How about padding them so they're not smooshed together? Of course, you may want to create a css class instead of the style attribute, but you get the point.
As far as a standard for ASP.NET, just use good standard CSS. There's nothing fundamentally different with ASP.NET than any other web programming language.
<form id="frmValidator" method="post" runat="server">
<div style="padding:5px;">
Usuario:
<asp:TextBox id="txtUserName" runat="server" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="userNameValidator" ControlToValidate="txtUserName" ErrorMessage='<img src="../Images/no.png">' runat="server" />
</div>
<div style="padding:5px;">
Contrasena:
<asp:TextBox id="txtPassword" runat="server" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="passwordValidator" ControlToValidate="txtPassword" ErrorMessage='<img src="../Images/no.png">' runat="server" />
</div>
<div style="padding:5px;">
<asp:button id="btnSubmit" text="Submit" runat="server" />
</div>
</form>
I would try to use a template or an form generator. A great starting point for solutions is:

No need for extra <div>'s - that's what CSS is for!
Here's a basic example using what ASP would render as HTML: http://jsfiddle.net/qWcpN/
And here's the code for it in case you don't want to look at the link.
HTML:
<asp:Label runat="server" AssociatedControlID="txtUserName" Text="Username" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="txtUserName" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" id="userNameValidator" CssClass="formError" ControlToValidate="txtUserName" ErrorMessage='Username is required!' />
<asp:Label runat="server" AssociatedControlID="txtPassword" Text="Password" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="txtPassword" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" id="passwordValidator" CssClass="formError" ControlToValidate="txtPassword" ErrorMessage='Password is required!' />
<asp:Button runat="server" id="btnSubmit" text="Submit" />
CSS:
label{
display:block;
font-weight:bold;
margin-bottom:2px;
}
input[type='text'],
input[type='password']{
display:block;
margin-bottom:10px;
padding:3px;
}
button,
input[type='button'],
input[type='submit']{
padding:5px;
}
.formError{
background:#F00;
color:#FFF;
display:block;
font-weight:bold;
margin-bottom:10px;
max-width:300px;
padding:3px;
}
