Sitefinity - Validating Custom Form Field

1
votes

I have a class MyField that extends FormField (it is a custom Form Field I can add via Form Builder). I have one field in the .ascx file:

<telerik:TextField ID="Status" CssClass="sfTxtID" style="visibility:hidden;" runat="server">
</telerik:TextField>

Currently, if the user presses the Submit button the form submits even though the Status TextField is empty.

My question is: How can I validate my field when the submit button is pressed and show an error if its not filled out?

Is this in the frontend or the backend? – Modika
Did you find an answer to this? I have a problem with the Forms control in that it doesn't allow Radio Button Lists to be validated (especially when you select the option to not select any options by default) – Jacques
I didn't get an answer yet but I will hopefully get one soon. I'll answer the question if I get the answer. – mishmash
This is going to sound really silly, but have you tried just a general validator controls? msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/debza5t0(v=vs.100).aspx – Modika

Hidden controls do not get checked by validation. Microsoft
