So, I imagine I had the most trouble with the mid term. I couldn't get the web control validations to work. I don't know why, they seem pretty straight forward. Actually, I got 1 or two but couldn't get another couple. And, I couldn't get the validation summary to display the way I wanted. Of course, by the time I got to the validations (which I saved for last) I was the only one left in lab and quickly running out of time.
Anyway, the validate a number should have been an easy one. But every time I set the data type to integer, or any other number declaration, I got an error. I finally just left it a string and used a range validator from 49 to 57. Strings are read one character at a time as ASCII and 49-57 are numbers 0-9 in ASCII code. It was sloppy, and totally the wrong way, but it worked. Sure hope I can get a better grip on validation going forward. I can't write the code for it at all in VB.net or Javascript. And I know its in the top five of things I have to know to be able to function in the .NET world.

you'll have more practice with those. become familiar with the controls. it seemed that you had controls that validated conflicting things - keeping it from ever being able to pass...
