I have added code to my formview edititemtemplate so that whenever a
user clicks any of the pager links (Prev, Next, etc) it automatically
updates the record. If the page is valid it updates the changes as
expected. However, if there are validation errors it doesn't update
but it also doesn't show the users the validation messages from my
validation controls. I realize that there is some line of code I am
missing but I'm not sure how to get it to show the validation
messages. How do I get the validation messages to show when there are
validation errors?
VB code:
Protected Sub fvProjects2_PageIndexChanging(ByVal sender As
System.Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewPageEventArgs) Handles
fvProjects2.PageIndexChanging
Page.Validate()
If Page.IsValid Then
fvProjects2.UpdateItem(True)
End If
End Sub
