I'm working on my first VB.NET 2.0 WinForm app. I'm trying to validate some input and I came across this fancy Error Provider control that seems great. However I have a problem with it. It seems that it only validates a field when it loses focus. I'm used to Web Form programming and using validation controls on it, but I don't see these in WinForms.

I know that i need to configure the sql configuration manager and enable tcp/ip also add a new port at firewall to allow remote connection also add the sqlserver.exe and sqlbrowser in firewall and I have also chosen "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" under Remote Connections in the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration. and all of this doesnt work!
View 10 RepliesI am writing a User Control. Into each control I am loading a custom biz object. Because the biz object implements IDataErrorInfo interface I am able to use the ErrorProvider control on the user control.
I am binding the ErrorProvider to the biz object like this:
Me.ErrorProvider1.DataSource=MyBizObject This is all working perfectly EXCEPT. The validation is happening (and therefore I am displaying the blinkey error signs next to all feilds) as soon as the User control is loaded into the host form.
Each biz object implements a SAVE method and I want the validate to not happen until the save event is triggered on the biz object.
What is the best way to validate a users input? I need to validate a "Name" entered in a textbox, as well as an enetered "Score".
View 8 Repliesi have this code:
If TextBox1.Text = "" Then
Label2.Text = " feild empty "
Elseif TextBox1.Text <> "1234" or "7463" or "3625" or "7642" Then
[Code].....
it works when its only only content "1234" but i need to place more than one possible valid input.
how one would go about validating input into a textbox for example:
Lets say the first letter the user enters has to be 'A' and the third letter the user enters has to be any number ranging from 0-9 and the length of their input cannot exceed lets say 10.
This is what I have so far:
If txtOperatorID.TextLength > 10 Then
bErrorOccured = True
sErrorMessage = sErrorMessage & "-No more than 10 chars" & vbCrLf
[Code]....
The coding for the length works(is there a better way to do this)? The coding for the first letter to be A works but then I have no idea how to set validation for any proceeding characters entered. Am i right in thinking I have to find their position somehow in the string if so how?
I am going to make a form which will have 10 MaskedTextBoxes. I want to validate input of all these MaskedTextBoxes then Sum the input of validated one into another MaskedTextBox. If there is any value in any MaskedTextBox it mast be validate by the format of "9990.000" or if it is empty return zero. I do not want to write the same code for every MaskedTextBox, I want to use function & sub. The problem with "e" type TypeValidationEventArgs. When I call the SumBurBoxes sub in txtBur_1_TypeValidationCompleted & give the "e" as second parameter, then if the txtBur_1 be invalid type and any other txtBur Boxes have value it will get error on all boxes if the txtBur_1 be valid type even the the other boxes be invalid type it does not get error on them.
Here is my Code.

Should I validate input parameters on all functions I create? Input isn't passed from a user, but from other routines as part of an automatic process.
I use error handling. I'm not sure what more validating input could do for me. If the input isn't valid, that's pretty much the same thing as an error, isn't it?
I am creating a program and I need to validate my text boxes. For the program the user needs to put in a phrase. But I am not sure how to make sure that the user actually entered in a phrase, the phrase isn't (ex.) skldkfdl, or that there isn't a space.

I am not looking for anything to do the work for me, as this is the last part of my project but I am looking for a place to start.

I have several text boxes I need to validate. I am not understanding how to validate in Visual Basic 2008. So I deployed standard If Statements to handle bad data. I am having two problems.
Lets say the user entered wrong data, example, numbers; an error message is displayed. The text boxes cannot contain numbers, be left empty or contained characters, like !@#$. The problem is if the user enter text, and then entered a wrong data again the code does not work or display error message. How can I make the conditions so that they throw out error message even if the user had previously entered good data.
Another example: If the user enter good data in text box 1 and bad data in text box 2, the error message does not work.
Finally, how do I filter out characters to allow only text. Is there a way to use this code on multiple text boxes with out writing the entire code for each form control?
Here are the conditional statements.
Private Sub btnDataSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDataSubmit.Click
If IsNumeric(txtDataEntry.Text) Then

How can true/false be return so that when true saveListing will be called, otherwise not?

My program in VB.net has been using in 4 years already. I coded it in my computer and run in other computer. It's modified several times and it still woked fine. Today, I modified it again. It works well in my computer, but when I run it in other computers, I got an error:
" Failed to decrypt using provider 'RsaProtedtedConfigurationProvider'. Error messsage from the provider: Bad Data."
I created a DataGridView called grid_LivingBenefits.Each time a cell is going to be edited, the program will validate that cell.Now, I have two subroutines that take care of that validation.these are: ValidateDataType() and ValidatePrimaryKey()
at the DataGridView CellBeginEdit, the program checks for which cell the user is editing.at the DatagridView CellEndEdit, the program calls the subroutines for validation. If an input is invalid, I want the program to show an errorProvider on that cell.I used MessageBoxes first to check whether the validations are working and I got no problem there. but when I tried to use errorprovider instead of a messagebox, there's a blue zigzag line under the grid_LivingBenefits.CurrentCell

My app fails at this line of code:
Dim objConnection As New SqlConnection(Application("ConnString"))
My connection string is: [Code]. I googled this problem and the solution for it was having a malformed connection string where the "provider" was being specified when it shouldn't have. Example conn string: [Code]. I'm not specifying the Provider so I think I have a different problem.
First attempt at using the error provider, I've set this up for each of the five text boxes I have on my form, when I click the button it shows the error provider flashing between the various boxes if I leave them all empty. Ideally I'd like the form to show the symbol next to the box thats empty, click the button and remove it from those which are correct leaving only the incorrect text boxes with the symbols. Any thoughts? [Code]

I requested a Code Signing Certificate from my own domain Certification Authority on my Windows 2008 R2 domain controller.
When trying to publish my code to my webserver via Clickonce, it throws "an error occurred while signing: Invalid provider type specified"
In order to get the certificate I duplicated the Code Signing template on my CA, and tried both options available:
1) must use Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider
2) use any provider available locally
algorithm is RSA, key minim size 2048, Hash SHA1, alternative format unchecked
