Dear JB,

You can use the below code to do this:-

<div>

    <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged">

        <asp:ListItem Value="-- Select --" Text="-- Select --"></asp:ListItem>

        <asp:ListItem Value="AGENT" Text="AGENT"></asp:ListItem>

        <asp:ListItem Value="BILLER" Text="BILLER"></asp:ListItem>

        <asp:ListItem Value="CONSUMER" Text="CONSUMER"></asp:ListItem>

    </asp:DropDownList>

    <br />

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

    <br />

    <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Invalid Data"

        ValidationExpression="^[0-9]+$" ControlToValidate="TextBox1" ValidationGroup="val"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" ValidationGroup="val" />

</div>

protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    if (DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text.ToUpper() == "CONSUMER")

    {

        TextBox1.MaxLength = 10;

    }

    else if (DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text.ToUpper() == "AGENT")

    {

        TextBox1.MaxLength = 5;

    }

    else

    {

        TextBox1.MaxLength = 100;

    }

}

Happy Coding,

0	the code validates the data entered in the textbox but doesnt validate the maximum length the items selected from the dropdown list.The dropdown items have bound them from database but not entered them from the properties section.What the code does it shows "Inalid Entry" if one enters letters,,,it accepts the numbers only,,,The problem is that for the other entries,if i select any of the items,it cannot validate its max length but still it adds the records.any changes you can assist futrher?
