I've got a combobox with EnableLoadOnDemand turned on and ShowMoreResultsBox as true. When I click on the combobox or click to show more results, our validation code gets called. I've tried setting CausesValidation to false on the combobox, but this does not have any effect. What can I do?

Hi Jes,
I tried the scenario of RadComboBox with LoadOnDeamnd set to True and using Validator for RadComboBox, and found that its working fine for me. I am not getting the validation when clicking the ShowMoreResults or when clicking the RadComboBox. Could you please provide some additional information about the setup which you tried?
Thanks,
Shinu.

We have a RadComboBox like this...
and a CustomValidator as this...
our CustomValidator method is...
I've put a breakpoint on the CustomValidator method. When I click on the radcombobox, the breakpoint is hit.
| <telerik:RadComboBox ID="ddlTelerik" runat="server" EnableLoadOnDemand="true" CausesValidation="false"> |
| </telerik:RadComboBox> |
and a CustomValidator as this...
| <asp:CustomValidator runat="server" ErrorMessage="WOO" OnServerValidate="txtTest_ServerValidate3"></asp:CustomValidator> |
our CustomValidator method is...
| Protected Sub txtTest_ServerValidate3(ByVal source As Object, ByVal args As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventArgs) |
| End Sub |
I've put a breakpoint on the CustomValidator method. When I click on the radcombobox, the breakpoint is hit.

Hi,
Would setting the ValidationGroup property on the controls that need to be validated by the custom validator (and the validator itself) help?

No, this does not make a difference. I've put them in different validation groups, the same validation groups, no validation groups, and it always still fires.

I haven't used custom validators a whole lot, but what I do know about them is:
- if you leave the ControlToValidate property blank, the server validation function will fire once per server round trip
- if ControlToValidate is set, the server event will only fire if the control it's validating has a value
The LoadOnDemand and ShowMoreResultsBox both fire the ItemsRequested server side event. Each time this event is fired, your server side validation event is also being fired. I'm not sure what I can suggest. Hopefully what I wrote here can help you think of a workaround for your validation.
I hope this helps,
Kevin

If I set CausesValidation to false on the combobox, shouldn't the validation NOT fire though?

Hello Jes,
In the attached page the ServerValidate event did not fire at my side as I tested with Telerik.Web.UI v2008.3.1314.
Could you have a look at the page and modify it so that the issue appears?

Not sure how to attach files, but here is the aspx file
and here is the .cs file
If you breakpoint on the server validate method, it is fired every time, even with CausesValidation="false"

Hi Jes,
Thank you for providing the code.
As I test I compared the behavior of RadComboBox to that of the classic TreeView control.
If you put a classic ASP.NET TreeView which loads its Nodes via AJAX callbacks and expand a Node, the ServerValidate method still fires. This leads to the conclusion that this behavior is inherent to ASP.NET.
In this case, I suggest you put a check for !Page.IsCallback in the ServerValidate event handler to distinguish normal from AJAX (which are the invalid ones) cases.
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us again.
All the best,
