Form field errors

Question

User-1793215261 posted

Hello

I am getting a couple of green underline errors with an input field (Name) in my contact.aspx form. In that file, I have (stripped):

 <asp:Label runat="server" AssociatedControlID="user_name">Name</asp:Label>
      <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="user_name" TextMode="Name" />
      <asp:ValidationSummary ID="ValidationSummary1" runat="server" />
      <asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ControlToValidate="user_name"</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

One error is with TextMode="Name" in this line:

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="user_name" TextMode="Name" />

Error: The values permitted for this attribute do not include 'Name'.
Parser Error Message: Cannot create an object of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBoxMode' from its string representation 'Name' for the
'TextMode' property.

My message field follows the same format as above and I am not getting any errors there.

The other green underline is here:

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator 

Error: Element 'RequiredFieldValidator' is missing the '<' from its start tag (when it is clearly not).

Thanks!

One error is with TextMode="Name"

Correct there is no "Name" for TextMode, usually allowed values are presented by Intellisense or control properties in VS.
Anyway TextMode use values from TextBoxMode enumerator.

For RequiredFieldValidator, you missing ">"

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ControlToValidate="user_name"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
