heya.
4 ctrls
Status (RadComboBox) ("Regular","Temporary")
LblEnddate (Label)
EndDate (RadDatepicker)
rfEnddate (required Field bound to Enddate)

If all visible set to true, field is required, however when visible = false, field is not required...(logical)

    
             Protected Sub Status_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal o As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs)  
        
                    If InStr(e.Value, "Temporary") Then  
        
                        frm1.FindControl("Enddate").Visible = True 
        
                        frm1.FindControl("rfEnddate").Visible = True 
        
                        frm1.FindControl("lblEndDate").Visible = True 
        
                    Else  
        
                        frm1.FindControl("Enddate").Visible = False 
        
                        frm1.FindControl("rfEnddate").Visible = False 
        
                        frm1.FindControl("lblEndDate").Visible = False 
        
                              End If

the ajax block

    
              <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="Status">  
        
                                   <UpdatedControls> 
        
                                       <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="lblEndDate" /> 
        
                                       <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RFEndDate" /> 
        
                                       <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="EndDate" /> 
        
                                   </UpdatedControls> 
        
                               </telerik:AjaxSetting>

the visible switch is working fine... however the requiredfield event is not raising. Thoughts ?

Thanks
mac

Sorry.. I am not getting this. I redid an extremely dumbed down sample to post here and get the following errors/odditites back.
RFDate (required validator) is disabled
RadDatePicker is visible =False

if user selects Regular from combo box, page posts back. If user selects temporary, rfdate and radDatePicker are enabled and Visible. (this works.... the first time...
once the page is posted back however, the SelectedIndexChanged event is lost ?? This may appear quite simple however the answer is deceiving me.
