validator controls

[Howard]

I use a regex validator to check if a textbox is in email format. How do I
make sure zero length input is not accepted? Do I need to use another
requiredfield validator? or is check zero length built-in to the regex
validator?

Re: validator controls

Zero length check is not built into the email validator regular expression.
For this you should use a RequiredFieldVa lidator control.
There's nothing wrong with using more than one validation control to
validate a single input control.

Here's more info:

Re: validator controls

Thanks Steve
I have another question about user controls


According to MSDN
If I use a user control like this
<Acme:Login id="MyLogin" UserId="John Doe" runat="server"/>
In the .cs file I put
public string UserId = "";
Then I can reference UserId from my code


my question is if i have a user control like this
<Acme:Login id="MyLogin" runat="server"> something</Acme:Login>

How would I access the text in between the tags?

Re: validator controls

Many (but not all) controls expose this as their Text property.
