I would like to use a Validator to guarantee that a given textbox's submitted content is unique. I want to make sure that the name put into the box is not the same as any other text box. The catch is I don't know at compile time how many other text boxes it will be compared to. It could be anywhere from 0 - n other name text boxes. Tha...
I have a simple form with a few required field validators and a validation summary control. When I submit the form, the client validation will cause the form to jump to the top of the page. If i remove the validation summary, the page does not move. Heres a quick example (pardon the line breaks): <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><...
I'm a total newbie to doing any bash scripting, but I came up with a basic one to help automate the process of removing a number of folders as they become unneeded. #!/bin/bash rm -rf ~/myfolder1/$1/anotherfolder rm -rf ~/myfolder2/$1/yetanotherfolder rm -rf ~/myfolder3/$1/thisisafolder This is evoked like so: ./myscript.sh <{id-numb...
I have a repository data access pattern like so: IRepository<T> { .. query members .. void Add(T item); void Remove(T item); void SaveChanges(); } Imagine the scenario where I have a repository of users, users have a user name which is unique, if I create a new user with a username that exists (imagine I have a dumb ui layer t...
I need to do some checking on a validation control but I am not sure what type of text ASP.NET will think is a security issue. Can someone give me some things to try? I tried various HTML tags and it seemed to accept them fine. This is a multiline rich textbox used for saving a field of text to the database. The code for saving is inside...

I have read that errors.add_to_base should be used for errors associated with the object and not a specific attribute. I am having trouble conceptualizing what this means. Could someone provide an example of when I would want to use each? For example, I have a Band model and each Band has a Genre. When I validate the presence of a ge...
Given a composite format string provided by the user (for use with String.Format) and a set of types representing the arguments that would be used to format the composite format string, how can you check that the user-provided value is valid? It should be pretty easy to create a regular expression to check that the general syntax of the...
How would I go about creating a system in which a user must click a link to validate something. Let us say that on my website, each user has their own folders that are not shared. I want their to be an option for each user on their account page in which they can create a trust with another user to access each others folders. Perhaps by ...
I'm creating an Asp.Net program UI where users can browse and change information in a database. For this reason, they need to be able to use all forms of chars, but I still need to keep the program HTML and SQL itself secure. For that reason, I'm using a self-built method that replaces dangerous chars such as '<' etc with their html-code...

How can I make sure that the window doesn't close before the form is valid and properly submited? Because now it closes the popup and nobady knows if the form was valid. Because even iff there are errors the form is immediately closed. $(document).ready(function(){ $(".requestPassword").hide(); $(".popupwindow").popupwindow(pro...
Hi, I'm interested in understanding if there is a common technique/pattern for checking data in a database conforms to a set of rules. I'm interested, perhaps, in running a service/job each night that churns through the data and raises exceptions to rules. I would quite like the system to be dynamic, i.e. it's quite easy to define new r...
In one part of the application I'm working on, there is a form control that does validation on reception of the CMExit message, which is exactly how the Delphi documentation says to do it (this code sample is from the Delphi Help files): procedure TDBCalendar.CMExit(var Message: TWMNoParams); begin try FDataLink.UpdateRecord; ...
