Validating wizard step and staying there if false

[sodakotahusker]

I have to work on a project with a wizard and six steps. I've never used this control before. Unfortunately they've just asked me to add validation to one of the steps. I can capture the fact there is a problem and prevent it from moving to the next step -- but my user control disappears. I tried setting the ActiveStepIndex back one hoping it would just do the same step over (though that might cause the data that was input to be lost?). Anyway I'm dead in the water with this one without some help. Thanks!!!

can't do much without code. if you add any control at runtime they must be added on every postback in the Page.Init event.

by default the Next buttons cause validation. Previous shouldn't cause validation. also in the next event make sure you check the validation before processing.

protected void MyWizard_MoveNext(object sender, WizardNavigationEventArgs e)
{
  if (Page.IsValid)
  {
      MyWizard.ActiveStepIndex = e.NewIndex;
  }
}

Thanks for the feedback. There is a cancel event on the event argument so e.cancel does the trick for me! This looks like some pretty slick stuff.
