As you know, ASP.Net has bunch of useful validation controls and they realy make our project so easy in terms of validations. But ASP.Net doesn't have any control to validate a check box !

There are lots of way to validate a check box and here you will find out some of them.

Solution

  1. First create a new page called checkbox.aspx and then paste this code into your new page head section;

    <script runat="server" language="vbscript">

        Sub CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(ByVal source As Object, ByVal args As ServerValidateEventArgs)

            args.IsValid = (Privacy1.Checked = True)

        End Sub

       

        Sub ValidateCheckBox()

            If CheckBox1.Checked = False Then

                Label1.Visible = True

            Else

                Label1.Visible = False

                'here is your function that you want to run after the checkbox is checked !

            End If

        End Sub

    </script>


  2. And then paste the below code into the body section of your page;

<div>

<asp:CheckBox ID="Privacy1" runat="server" />

<br /><br />

<asp:CustomValidator ID="CustomValidator1" runat="server" OnServerValidate="CustomValidator1_ServerValidate">Please Check The Checkbox First !</asp:CustomValidator>

<br /><br />

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" /></div>

<br /><br />

<div>

<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" /><br /><br />

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" style="color: Red;" Visible="false" Text="Please Check The Checkbox First !" />

<br /><br />

<asp:Button ID="Button2" CausesValidation="false" OnClick="ValidateCheckBox" runat="server" Text="Button" />

</div>



That's it ! Now you have two kinds of CheckBox RequiredFieldValidator. When you run the page and click one of the buttons, you will see that the checkbox will have a Required Field Validator. We can do that via Custon Validator Control on ASP.Net 3.5 Toolbar on the first examples and on the second one we are able to that manually !

I hope It helps :)
