Are you talking about ASP.NET? If so then I believe you would set the text property inside the textbox that you have placed in the datagrid to the following.
text='<% Container.DataItem("ColumnName") %>'

Try this, Iterate through all the controls, pick out the textbox's and check their value:
For textbox1_textchanged event:
dim t as textbox<br />
for each t in me.controls<br />
if ctype(t) is textbox then<br />
if t.text = textbox1.text then<br />
'error<br />
end if<br />
end if<br />
next

The first posters code failed because 't' was declared as a textbox. If the control collection contains something other then a textbox the cast will fail. 't' should have been a control. Also instead of hardcoding textbox1 you can use the same technique you learned from your first validation post. Use directcast to cast the sender object as a textbox. This will allow you to handle all your textboxes from this single procedure. Try the following
Dim txtSender As TextBox = DirectCast(sender, TextBox)
'Loop through all controls on the form
'If the form isn't the parent use ParentName.Controls instead of me.controls
For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls
'Is ctrl a texbox and NOT the textbox that raised this method
If TypeOf ctrl Is TextBox AndAlso ctrl IsNot txtSender Then
If DirectCast(ctrl, TextBox).Text = txtSender.Text Then
'Add code to raise Error
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
I know you were told you could add handlers for multiple textboxes by doing Handles textbox1.textchanged, textbox2.textchange etc. But if you have a 100 textboxes that's just tedious especially when you have to do that for multiple procedures. The following code will loop through the controls and add handlers for you when the form loads. In this example I added a handler for the textchanged event for all the textboxes found on the form but you can add whatever handlers you want. I also added the textbox to a collection so you don't have to loop through the controls later but can loop through the collection of just textboxes.
Private TextBoxCollection As List(Of TextBox)
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf ctrl Is TextBox Then
TextBoxCollection.Add(DirectCast(ctrl, TextBox))
AddHandler ctrl.TextChanged, AddressOf txtBox_TextChanged
End If
Next
End Sub
With the addition of the collection the first bit of code could be changed to this.
Dim txtSender As TextBox = DirectCast(sender, TextBox)
'Loop through all the textboxes
For Each txt As TextBox In TextBoxCollection
'If txt isn't the control that raised this method and the values
'match raise an error
If txt IsNot txtSender AndAlso txt.Text = txtSender.Text Then
'Add code to raise Error
Exit For
End If
Next

great man..
thanks for sending such a nice and detailed solution..
but i dont know why, i am not able to get this method.
may be i need a decent R & D on this topic , you gave a good link to study.
and meanwhile without putting my mind into into i am not able to implement this code directly
coz getting some errors and literally having no idea abt them..
as this topic is new to me....
i wanted this validation very immedietly..
nyways i hope your code will be too much helpful for me once i'll come to know the topic...

Well it doesn't help that I screwed up  This line 'Private TextBoxCollection As List(Of TextBox)' should be 'Private TextBoxCollection As new List(Of TextBox)"
Other then that the code works. It's hard to debug something when you don't fully understand it. It's pretty simple once you get it though. Sorry I don't have any links for you but you may want to research addhandler, and creating control arrays.
The important parts of the code are as follows. The code in the Form Load event loops through ALL the controls directly on the form. What I mean by that is it won't include controls that may be inside a panel or other container. If your textboxes are located in a panel and not on the form you should use Panel1.controls (or whatever applies) instead of me.controls. It tests each control it finds to see if its a textbox. If it is, it adds it to the collection and adds a handler for the TextChanged event. The method txtBox_TextChanged is required for this to work. Basically what it does is says when the TextChanged event for this control fires run this procedure.
The other code I gave you loops through the collection and compares the text in the current textbox with that of all the other textboxes. This code should probably go in the validation event. If you want it could be put in the TextChanged event instead. What also just occured to me is I forgot to post the txtBox_TextChanged method. This is one way you could do it.
Private Sub txtBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim txtSender As TextBox = DirectCast(sender, TextBox)
'Loop through all the textboxes
For Each txt As TextBox In TextBoxCollection
'If txt isn't the control that raised this method and the values
'match raise an error
If txt IsNot txtSender AndAlso txt.Text = txtSender.Text Then
'Add code to raise Error
Console.WriteLine("Matched")
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
If you add this method to your code with the form load code you should have something that works without error. Sorry, I left out the necessary method before.

Change this:
manni_n wrote: Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
To:
Private Sub txtBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Also what version of Visual Studio are you using. List(Of) is new in .net 2.0. If you are running a version before 2005 you may not have that class. Try using an arraylist instead.
Private TextBoxCollection As New ArrayList

i modified the code check it....
i did in this way only but still list(of textbox) and isnot line are giving errors.
|
|
|
|
|
Check my last post again...I made a modification. Also what is the error your getting with the IsNot line. I don't know when IsNot was added but perhaps you should try 'Not txt is txtSender' instead
|
|
|
|

this code is not workin man, its flying...
great job...
i am really thankful to ya alot...
now i think i can frealy go for a sleep...
i was tryn differnt logics for this validations from last 10 hours..
feeling gud now..
bubye buddy..
thanks again and gud night.

there is one more problem in it...
suppose in textbox1 i have filled integer 3
and in textbox2 i have to fill 31, so the moment i press 3 in textbox2 it will show the error that same value...
it wont wait for the 1 to get typed...

Yup, thats right. I recomend the validation event. Personally I wouldn't validate text in the manner you want as it changes for the very reason you are now experiencing. What you need to do is create a new procedure to handle the validation event. This is the declaration of that procedure.
Private Sub txtBox_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs)
End Sub
You should move the validation code into this procedure. Then you'll need to change the addhandler statement. The event should be validating and the part that goes after addressof should be the name of the procedure ie. txtBox_Validating. The validating event fires just before the focus changes. In the validating event you can use e.cancel = true to prevent focus from leaving the textbox. So if the text isn't validated you can display a message and cancel the change of focus.
One more thing. Use this
If not txt Is txtSender AndAlso txt.Text = txtSender.Text AndAlso txt.Text <> "" Then instead of the current line you have otherwise validation will fail if a textbox is empty because other textbox's are empty. I should have changed that earlier. I forgot to mention it.

|

yeah i had done this thing of validating the empty textbox...
but i am affraid this e.cancel = true is not working dude...
i am using VS 2003. i think this code must be valid in 2005.
only this thing is stucked rest everything is running fine....
any other method u might be having...
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, that's the only event I know of. I've never used 2003 so I'm not aware of the differences but it does work in 2005. If it's not working for you I'm not sure what to do. I think that's still the right place to do the validation however. You'll just have to come up with a workaround. For one, calling a controls focus method will make that control active. So you could do that inside the validating event if validation fails. At least that way you can bring the users attention back to that control.

no buddy, i have checked every second method which i was knowing, to do this
validation.
i also tried to used gotfocus validation of textbox.but i think every effort went into vein.
as i am using back end also so i tried to validate this through backend validation.
like if the value in the textbox is same then it wont enter in DB and gives an error. But i think this will be the bad logic..
i cant do anything as i am left with this only...
nyways after using your method fully now i am only stuck at this problem, my every second problem is solved by you reagardin this..the only thing left is it shud not validate untill the user moves to other controll.
sending u the code agian jst have alook and check out if something can be done or not....
nyways thanks....
you really helped alot , i'll make sure in future that i could help you in some way and repay you...

Okay I see the mistake. Well I assume it's a mistake. Maybe you reverted back to using the TextChanged event because you couldn't get it to work, but I'll assume for the moment you didn't. When you use AddHandler you never changed the event that would be handled.
The following line
AddHandler ctrl.TextChanged, AddressOf txtvalidate_validating
Should be:
AddHandler ctrl.Validating, AddressOf txtvalidate_validating
The portion after Addhandler is the event that gets handled. The portion after addressof is the method that does the handling. In this case we want to handle the validating event which is the change I made above.
e.cancel = true should occur when validation fails. Also you changed the parameters for the txtValidate_Validating procedure. Probably because you were getting errors do to the fact that the event you were trying to handle was the TextChanged event and not the validating event.
The final code should be this:
Public Class Form1<br />
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form<br />
Private TextBoxCollection As New ArrayList<br />
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load<br />
For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls<br />
If TypeOf ctrl Is TextBox Then<br />
TextBoxCollection.Add(DirectCast(ctrl, TextBox))<br />
AddHandler ctrl.Validating, AddressOf txtvalidate_validating<br />
End If<br />
Next<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub txtvalidate_validating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs)<br />
Dim txtSender As TextBox = DirectCast(sender, TextBox)<br />
For Each txt As TextBox In TextBoxCollection<br />
If Not txt Is txtSender AndAlso txt.Text = txtSender.Text AndAlso txt.Text <> "" Then<br />
MsgBox("You have already filled this value")<br />
e.Cancel = True<br />
Exit For<br />
End If<br />
Next<br />
End Sub<br />
End Class
If there is a problem with this code it's because of differences in 2003 vs 2005. But this code works perfectly under 2005.

its ok and fine...
the line in which u have modified should be having validated in place of validating coz controll is validated after the focus is off, like this
still e.cancel is not working and showing the error that cancel is not the member of system.eventarg but its ok...i'll rectify this part through my database, by dissaloving the user to insert blank value..
AddHandler ctrl.Validated,AddressOf txtvalidate_validating<br />
now its working working perfectly...
thanks...

The events fire in this order:
LostFocus
Validating
Validated
'Cancel' is not a property of the system.eventarg object which is the object the Validated event recieves. 'Cancel' IS a property of the System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs which is the object the Validating event recieves. I don't understand why you think the validation should occur in the validated event. There is no reason the validation shouldn't be done in the validating event and one very good reason why it should be. This reason would be that you can prevent other controls from responding to the user before they have inserted valid data. I'm glad you've got it working though. As long as it works the way you want I see no reason to change it.

Hello,
I have created a new insert procedure to insert a new incident record in the typed dataset designer in the datatable. I want to have the incidentID with is auto generated returned.
I have been playing around with the properties of the insert procedure, but can't find any way to return the incidentID number.
The code I have used for inserting is the following
<br />
INSERT INTO Incident (Company, CompanyID, Priority, Status, Subject, AssignedTo) VALUES (@Company,@CompanyID,@Priority,@Status,@Subject,@AssignedTo) SELECT @IncidentID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()<br />
The code for calling the insert is the following:
<br />
Me.TA_Incident_dsComponent_Equipment1.Insert(Me.cboCustomers.Text, Me.cboCustomers.SelectedValue, "Normal", "Not Started", Me.txtSubject.Text, Me.cboAssignIncident.SelectedValue)<br />
Many thanks with any help.
