Body
I'm using a bunch of different asp.net validation controls on a web form. Some of these have their Text property set to things like "* Error" or "You missed these fields". However, a few of the CustomValidator controls have blank Text properties. I left them blank on purpose because I'm adding the ErrorMessage dynamically depending on which case fails. (A CustomValidator may have many different conditions upon which I set args.IsValid = false) When an error occurs, the ErrorMessage property that I set is shown both in the ValidationSummary and inside the Validator control. I don't want that. I want to be able to just show the ErrorMessage in the ValidationSummary and not in the BaseValidator.Text property. My first try was to set the Text property to be a space " ". That didn't work. What I implemented (for now) is a period that is shown as the same color of the background. It's a hack - and I don't like it. Heck, maybe that's why I'm here! Here's the code: <pre><code><asp:CustomValidator ID="StackOverflowValidator" runat="server" Text="." CssClass="validatorstyle" Display="Dynamic" OnServerValidate="validate_AllowedToDoSomething" ValidationGroup="MainGroup" /> <asp:ValidationSummary ID="mainGroupValidationSummary" runat="server" ValidationGroup="MainGroup" DisplayMode="BulletList" HeaderText="There was an error in saving. Please check the following:" /> </code></pre> Inside validate_AllowedToDoSomething I call: <pre><code>StackOverflowValidator.ErrorMessage = "Custom Error Message #1"; args.IsValid = false; return; </code></pre> What I get is "Custom Error Message #1" twice on the web form. Thanks in advance!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
