Problem with converted ascx contact form user control (IsValid probably causing).

I have successfully (well almost) converted my aspx and aspx.cs contact form to a ascx contact form with .dll file. However, I seem to be having an issue with the form actually submiitting. It does validate the fields and the reset button works, however, the email form does not send. I think it has to do with the IsValid property.

Please take a look at code below.

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="contact.ascx.cs" Inherits="APTContact.contact" %>

     <div>
    <asp:PlaceHolder ID="formPH" runat="server" Visible="true">
                        <form id="form1" runat="server">
                            <table id="contact" cellspacing="5">
                                
                              <tr>
                                    <td class="name" >First Name:</td>
                                    <td style="width: 255px"> <asp:TextBox CssClass="field" ID="FNameTB" runat="server" /></td>   
                              </tr>
                               <tr>
                                    <td colspan="2" style="width: 271px"> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator  CssClass="validator" ID="reqFName" runat="server" ControlToValidate="FNameTB" ErrorMessage=" First Name Is Required" Display="Dynamic" />

        public bool IsValid { get; set; }
    }
}

and in the macro I get:

if you have it like that,

your isvalid will be false.

Add the property to the macro and set its value or remove it.

What's the use of it?

I am still learning C# and umbraco etc. I thought it was necessary for the confirmation or error codes to appear. It was originally an aspx and aspx.cs form.

I don't want the Choose properties field to be checked but I cannot seem to change it. What can I change in my ascx.cs file (or where ever) to avoid this? The form works hard-coded, I don't know what to change.

Thanks, kows for the reply.

if you drop public bool IsValid { get; set; }

the property wont show up anymore.

drop the following to make the form work:

if (!IsValid)

{
return;
}
else
{

(in between stays)

}

Thanks, Kows:

I ended up creating a new form , but it was the !IsValid property.

Thanks,
