In ASP.NET Web Application Visual Basic the RequiredFieldValidator does't work

Posted by Trapulo on 10/23/2012 at 8:47 AM

Ok, but if I reference jquery using bundling?

bundles.Add(New ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery", "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.8.2.min.js").Include(
"~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"))

the validator will load a second reference to jquery and block the page!

Also experiencing the same issue with an Express Web 11 solution upgraded to 2012 RC version. Here is my web.config:

<?xml version="1.0"?>



<configuration>
    <connectionStrings>
        <add name="EventsConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Events.mdf;Integrated Security=True"
            providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    </connectionStrings>
    <appSettings>
     <add key="aspnet:UseTaskFriendlySynchronizationContext" value="true" />
     
    </appSettings>
    <system.web>
     <authorization>
        <deny users="?" />
     </authorization>
     <roleManager enabled="true" />
     <authentication mode="Forms" />
     <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5" />
     <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="4.5" targetFramework="4.5" encoderType="System.Web.Security.AntiXss.AntiXssEncoder, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
     <pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="4.5" />
     <machineKey compatibilityMode="Framework45" />
     <siteMap defaultProvider="XmlSiteMapProvider" enabled="true">
        <providers>
         <clear />
         <add name="XmlSiteMapProvider"
             description="Default SiteMap Provider"
             type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider"
             siteMapFile="Web.sitemap"
             securityTrimmingEnabled="true" />
        </providers>
     </siteMap>
    </system.web>

</configuration>

When targeting .NET 4.5 we enable Unobtrusive Validation by default. You need to have jQuery in your project and have something like this in Global.asax to register jQuery properly:

            ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition("jquery", new ScriptResourceDefinition {
                Path = "~/scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js",
                DebugPath = "~/scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js",
                CdnPath = "http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.1.min.js",
                CdnDebugPath = "http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.1.js"
            });

Replacing the version of jQuery with the version you are using. You can also disable this new feature in web.config by removing the following line:

    <add key="ValidationSettings:UnobtrusiveValidationMode" value="WebForms" />

The templates in the RC milestone will have all of this wired up automatically for you.

Hi,

After upgrading to .NET 4.5, I got this error when using ASP Validation Controls. I don't have the following line in my web.config (<add key="ValidationSettings:UnobtrusiveValidationMode" value="WebForms" />), so deleting it wasn't a solution.

Adding a ScriptResourceDefinition did work for me:
1. Add global.asax item in your project
2. Add following code to 'Application_Start'
        Dim myScriptResDef As New ScriptResourceDefinition()
        myScriptResDef.Path = "~/JS/jquery-1.8.1.js"
        myScriptResDef.DebugPath = "~/JS/jquery-1.8.1.js"
        myScriptResDef.CdnPath = "http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.1.js"
        myScriptResDef.CdnDebugPath = "http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.1.js"
        ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition("jquery", Nothing, myScriptResDef)
3. Edit the relative paths to where the jquery javascript file is located in your project.
4. Try again and see if this helped.

PS: The debug path is for when you are debugging, the CDN paths are used for Content Delivery Networks. So if you're not debugging or not deploying(and/or debuggin) in a CDN environment, you can leave those out.
