In this post we will see an example of how to use RequiredFieldValidator in Asp.Net.
There are different types of validation controls are provided by Asp.Net. Also you can check out:
- Single stored procedure to insert update and delete in sql server 2008
- Adding meta tags to aspx pages in asp.net
- Serialization and Deserialization in Remoting in C#.Net
- RequiredFieldValidator will show error message if a user try to submit with out entering a value in the field.
- To use RequiredFieldValidator, drag and drop a RequiredFieldValidator from Toolbox.
Here ControlToValidate property field needs to be set as on which field you want to validate. And ErrorMessage property will show what ever error message you will give.
