[Anthem.NET-users] problem with validation in DataList EditItemTemplate

[Ujjaval S. <uj...@gm...>]

I've a databound Anthem DataList and  a panel with other textbox
control in the user control. The DataList EditItemTemplate contains
one ASP textbox and a linkbutton and a validation control for the
textbox.

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="DataListCAVValidator"
runat="server" CssClass="aspText" ControlToValidate="txtCAV"
Display="dynamic"

ValidationExpression="^\d$" ValidationGroup="DataListSiteGroup"
ErrorMessage="Enter valid value"
EnableClientScript="false"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

And I've specified in the linkbutton of the datalist

<asp:LinkButton ID="btnSave" runat="server" CssClass="linkButtonStyle"
ValidationGroup="DataListTumourSiteGroup" CausesValidation="true"
Text="Save" CommandName="update" />


This does not seem to work on aspx page. What it does is, if I enter
any text characters and press Save, it clears the textbox , but does
not display error message.
Whats going wrong here??

On the same user control, I am having another Anthem panel with asp
textbox control and anthem button control. for the textbox control,
I've following validation control,

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="CAVValidator" runat="server"
CssClass="aspText" ControlToValidate="txtCAVnew" Display="dynamic"

ValidationExpression="^\d$" ValidationGroup="newTumourSiteGroup"
ErrorMessage="Enter valid value"
EnableClientScript="false"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

And the button is declared as

<anthem:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server" CssClass="aspText"
Text="Save" ValidationGroup="newTumourSiteGroup"
OnClick="btnSave_Clicked" />

This seems to work without any problem. So, anybody has any idea, why
this works in Anthem panel and not in DataList mentioned above??

Thanks,
Ujjaval
