Cancel step if validation fails in asp.net wizard

Question

I am using asp.net wizard in my project which is new to me. I have validations in one of the steps in my wizard. If the validation fails i should not allow the user to go to next step. And i am using a asp.net button which navigate between the steps in wizard. I would really appreciate if anyone could help me.

Answer 1

You could try canceling the Wizard's SideBarButtonClick and NextButtonClick events:

 protected void Wizard1_SideBarButtonClick(object sender, WizardNavigationEventArgs e)
  {
    e.Cancel = !ValidateWizardStep(e.NextStepIndex);
  }

  protected void Wizard1_NextButtonClick(object sender, WizardNavigationEventArgs e)
  {
    e.Cancel = !ValidateWizardStep(e.NextStepIndex);
  }

Answer 2

I tweaked the code a little bit sent by Ulises and made it work.

1. I have added onNextButtonClick property for wizard

   <asp:Wizard ID="wizClaimInfo" runat="server" CssClass="wizard" DisplayCancelButton="True" ActiveStepIndex="0" OnNextButtonClick="wizClaimInfo_NextButtonClick">
   

2. In the codebehind added following event

   protected void wizClaimInfo_NextButtonClick(object sender, WizardNavigationEventArgs e) {
   
           if (!IsValid)
           {
               e.Cancel = true;
           }
   
       return;
   }
   

and also followed instruction given in below link.
