Hello,

I was reading an MSDN article on validation, and it mentioned the
validatorhookupcontrol client side API as enabling you to hook up more
than one control to a validator.

I just checked the SDK, and couldn't find such an API. I then searched
MSDN and MSDN2 and only found one reference to it, from the article I
had just read.

Anyone know anything about this? Was it in a beta and then dropped?

Is there any way to hook up two controls to one validator? I have been
looking for this for some time and thought I'd struck gold!!

TIA

If you only want one additional control to hookup, the CompareValidator has
an infrastructure that we can take advantage of. It needs to handle the
ControlToCompare property.

So on your validator, do this:
Validator1.Attributes.Add("controlhookup", OtherTextBox.ClientID)
(Be sure to use lowercase on "controlhookup".)
