ASP.Net RequiredFieldValidator Control

The RequiredFieldValidator: The RequiredFieldValidator control ensures that the required field is not empty. It is generally tied to a text box to force input into the text box.

RequiredFieldValidator additional properties (Check here for other default properties and sample):

Property
Description
InitialValue
Specifies the starting value of the input control. Default value is ""

Some points about RequiredFieldValidator:
·         The RequiredFieldValidator control is used to make an input control a required field.
·         With this control, the validation fails if the input value does not change from its initial value. By default, the initial value is an empty string ("").
·         The InitialValue property does not set the default value for the input control. It indicates the value that you do not want the user to enter in the input control.
·         Use the ‘InitialValue’ property of the RequiredFieldValidator to validate controls like combobox which have a default value. For e.g.: If your combobox has a default item called “Select“ and you want that the user should select a value other than the default value before submitting the form, then set the ‘InitialValue’ property of the RequiredFieldValidator to “Select “.
·         Leading and trailing spaces of the input value are removed before validation.

  Control usage:

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtName"></asp:TextBox>

To validate this textbox:
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvName" runat="server"
    ControlToValidate="txtName" ErrorMessage="*Required">
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

C#: Merging Excel cells with NPOI HSSFWorkbook

In this post we’ll see how to merge the two or more cell with each other while creating the excel sheet using NPOI . Mentioned below is code to merge multiple cells, in this example we are merging first cell to fifth cell of first row (you can adjust row or cell range by passing particular parameters in CellRangeAddress). //Created new Workbook var hwb = new NPOI.HSSF.UserModel. HSSFWorkbook (); //Create worksheet with name. var sheet = hwb.CreateSheet( "new sheet" ); //Create row and cell. var row = sheet.CreateRow(0); var cell = row.CreateCell(0); ; //Set text inside cell cell.SetCellValue( "This is Merged cell" ); cell.CellStyle.WrapText = true ; //define cell range address // parameters: -> first row to last and first cell to last cell var cra = new NPOI.SS.Util. CellRangeAddress (0, 0, 0, 4); //Add merged region to sheet. sheet.AddMergedRegion(cra); Hope this solution helps you J
