    I have a form connected to a database so you can add new customers in it. I need to add required field validators and change them so they have a certain format (SSN is 999-99-9999). I can't get the required field validators to work .. Any ideas?

    Hi,

    It seems to me you want a http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.regularexpressionvalidator.aspx validator (to check that it match the pattern you want) rather than the required field validator (which just check if you have an input in a required field).

    If you need further hel, please close this thread and post to http://forums.asp.net rather than to a general C# forum.

    Please always mark whatever response solved your issue so that the thread is properly marked as "Answered".

    It requires regularexpression validator ...Codes following below

      <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> 
                <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="TextBox1" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="enter in correct format to SSN(999-88-9999)" ValidationExpression="\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

    Absolutely it will not display anything at page load. but when you will put wrong inputs and click your submit button that time Validator message will show
