I have a text box that is intended for an Email address. I am using a Regular eExppression validation control to validate the email address.
When I place the following lines of code in a blank web Form, the validator works properly.
<asp:TextBox ID="Email" runat="server" CssClass="DefaultTextBox TextboxWidth" MaxLength="80"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="valEmail" runat="server" ControlToValidate="Email" ErrorMessage="Invalid Email address" SetFocusOnError="True" ToolTip="Invalid Email address" ValidationExpression="\w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*">*</asp:RegularExpressionValidator`>
However, when I use the validation control within a CreateUserWizard control, it does not seem to fire but other validation controls (Required and Custom validators) do fire, but not the regular expression validator above for validating the address.
The following is my complete web page. The two controls above appear unchanged in the code below, they are simply embedded into the wizard control mentioned.
