How can I validate custom placeholder controls using the custom placeholder
validation? I want to validate the DateTimePickerPlaceholderControl and a
custom dropdownlist placeholder control I created that lists values from a
database.

Accessing the textbox.text (DateTimePicker) and the
dropdownlist.selectedvalue properties is the problem.

Any code you can provide as well would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
JForeman

Hi J,

placeholder validation requires a lot of stuff: custom placeholder controls,
custom validator controls, custom console actions, ....
We have covered this in depth in a dedicated chapter in the following book:

Hi Stefan,

I have both of your books (Building and Advanced). I successfully created a
radHtmlPHWithValidation object.

I took the same approach as the HTMLPlaceholderControl with Validation, and
tried to access the textbox.text (DateTimePicker) and the
dropdownlist.selectedvalue properties of the associated controls
(ctrl.FindControl()). I created new RequiredDropDownPHValidator and
DropDownPHWithValidation objects within the MCMSValidators project and still
no success.

I can validate both the Html and ToolTip properties of the
HTMLPlaceholderWithValidation control, but this doesn't work for the other
custom controls; no error and the ErrorMessage is never displayed.

Hi J,

I would suggest to debug your validator controls to see what's going on.

Cheers,
Stefan
