    [CLOSED] FieldContainer and Validation

    Hello,

    we have a control that implements the Date+Time editor combining the two editors wrapping them in a FieldContainer.

    We're asking ourselves how to implement correctly all the validation logic on this final FieldContainer element? Is there any best practice to follow?

    In the meantime, ... we think that not providing this kind of control is really strange, ... in a real-world scenario specifying both date and time is quite normal... isn't it? :)

    We're thinking about creating a new control from scratch that combines both the Date and Time but with a brand new control.
    Since we don't have so much time, we ask if you plan to build such kind of control (like the one provided by KendoUI) ... it will be a great addition to Ext.Net library!

    Thank you

    Hello @adrianot!

    Well, as we are talking on 3.x forums, I'll talk on a 3.x perspective. We don't plan on adding new features to Ext.NET 3 as it is just about to be superseded by Ext.NET 4, and maybe adding a single date+time control.

    But that's a good point, I can see some implementations around but an implementation with both date and time pickers seems best.

    Now, in opposite order, about your question of best practices, I am afraid we don't really have a fixed pattern on doing validations, but yes, Ext.NET controls provide extensive validation functionality that would make your life much easier maintaining it. As a general rule, see the examples we have on validation (a starting point could be this example: FormPanel validation). A good search keyword on EE would be valid.

    Hope this helps!
