I have no problem validating the editor when I incorporate it in a Table control but I can't make it work in a GridView. The result is the error: "Unable to find control id 'CeName' referenced by the 'ControlToValidate' property of 'RequiredFieldValidator1'." I'm guessing I will have to do this with code behind.
Here's the relevant ASPX markup:
Outside GridView and DetailsView:
<
asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="You must enter a name." ControlToValidate="CeName"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
Inside GridView:
<EditItemTemplate>
<CE:Editor ID="CeName" runat="server" Height="250" Width="100%" AutoConfigure="None"
BreakElement="Br" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>'>
</CE:Editor>
</EditItemTemplate>
