Question

I have an problem with Validation in .NET

I am using server side validation for a text box, i applied requiredfield and range validator for that. and my issue is i want to display messages in same place instead of using
for both the messages.
suppose i left the textbox it says “it is required” and if i enter some value beyond the range it says “Range must be 1 to 100” but both the messages are in different places which doesn’t seems good.

i don’t want to use validation summary, i tried “validationGroup” and “Display” property, but i still didn’t get the solution.

can anyone have any idea?

<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmpID" runat="server" CssClass ="textbox"></asp:TextBox>
            <br />
            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" 
                ControlToValidate="txtEmpID" ErrorMessage="Emp ID is Must" 
                Display ="Dynamic"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                <br />
            <asp:RangeValidator ID="RangeValidator1" runat="server" 
                ControlToValidate="txtEmpID" ErrorMessage="Range must be 1 -100" 
                MaximumValue="100" MinimumValue="1" Type="Integer" Display ="Dynamic"></asp:RangeValidator>

You can use CustomValidator and validate it manually. You will have the message in one place and one validation. The other solution is to have only RangeValidator and enable it even if the TextBox value is empty. ValidateOnEmpty=”true” if i’m not wrong
