by bryian 6. January 2010 19:52

Extender control 'ValidatorCalloutExtender1' cannot extend 'TextBox1'. Extender controls of type 'AjaxControlToolkit.ValidatorCalloutExtender' cannot extend controls of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox'.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: Extender control 'ValidatorCalloutExtender1' cannot extend 'TextBox1'. Extender controls of type 'AjaxControlToolkit.ValidatorCalloutExtender' cannot extend controls of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox'.

 

Solution: Make sure the TargetControlID of the ValidatorCalloutExtender is set to a validator control instead of the TextBox control

Example:

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

   <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" 
        ErrorMessage="Required field" Display="None" 
        ControlToValidate="TextBox1" />
        
   <cc1:ValidatorCalloutExtender ID="ValidatorCalloutExtender1" 
        TargetControlID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" />

I upgraded one of the ASP.NET Web applications from 1.0 to 3.5. Everything went smoothly. Then I tried to use the ValidatorCalloutExtender and received the errors shown below.

This page is missing a HtmlHead control which is required for the CSS stylesheet link that is being added. Please add <head runat="server" />.
