Hi,

I submitted a form with a few input controls (created using .Net biscuit controls).

The following code to collect form variables in the post page is not working

if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request["day"]))
Text2.RichText = "day: " + Request["day"];

Hi,

I read your code and found your fault.
you have to set the name of the rb:Form_Text.
The id is only for accessing the control from the code behind
and the name sets the request variable.

Following code does not add hidden field inside the </form> tag. I get a .Net error message saying "Hidden fields should be enclosed inside a form tag". What is the workaround for this?

Thanks


protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

HiddenField subject = new HiddenField();
subject.Value = "Message from mobile";
this.Form1.Controls.Add(subject);

}

Based on your feeback, I tried the following code.
Here's my form for your review.

<rblaceHolder ID="PlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</rblaceHolder>

<rb:Form ID="Form1" runat="server" Method = "POST">
<Rows>
</Rows>
<Content>
<rb:Form_Text ID="Form_Text2" runat="server" >
</rb:Form_Text>
<rb:Form_Submit ID="Form_Submit1" runat="server" Name="submit" Value="submit">
</rb:Form_Submit>
</Content>
</rb:Form>


When I enter value into the text field and submit, the following code (in code behind on page load) does not work. I could not read the text field. What am I missing?

if (Form1.FindControl("Form_Text2") != null)
{

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(((Form_Text)Form1.FindControl("Form_Text2")).Value))
{

Text validationError = new Text();
validationError.BGColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
validationError.RichText = "im here";
// validationError.RichText = ((Form_Text)Form1.FindControl("Form_Text2")).Value;

this.PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(validationError);
}
else
{
Text validationError = new Text();
validationError.BGColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
validationError.RichText = "im here. Could not read the text field";
// validationError.RichText = ((Form_Text)Form1.FindControl("Form_Text2")).Value;

this.PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(validationError);
}
}

I'm able to set the value though by using the following code.

//if (Form1.FindControl("Form_Text2") != null)
// ((Form_Text)Form1.FindControl("Form_Text2")).Value = "hello";

I have a form and I'd like to simply display a star (or message) next to a field if it does not validate on submit.

Should something like this work? Here are relevant code samples:

Text firstNameStar = new Text();
firstNameStar.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Red;


if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request["txtFirstName"]))
{
firstNameStar.RichText = "*";
populated = false;
}


netbiscuits.PlaceHolder PlaceHolder3 = new netbiscuits.PlaceHolder();
PlaceHolder3.Controls.Add(firstNameStar);
NTableCell2.Controls.Add(PlaceHolder3);

I can't get it to show up.
