I am using an asp wizard control to collect information from unregistered users. The final step in the wizard uses the dnn captcha control. I can't get the error message to display. I have defined the error message in the .ascx file and tried setting it in the code behind. However the error message never displays. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

 The event handler for the final step is shown below

Protected Sub OnFinishButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As WizardNavigationEventArgs)
 Page.Validate()
 If Page.IsValid() AndAlso ctlCaptcha.IsValid() Then

 ' Some work is done in here              

Else

e.cancel = True

ctlCaptchaControl.ErrorMessage = "Please enter the letters shown in the image"

End If

End Sub

Mitchel Sellers pointed out the problem. I was using ajax on the page. Once I removed the ajax functionality the control worked just fine

If you are setting the captcha ErrorMessage in the code behind file, it will have to be set much earlier than in your OnFinishButtonClick handler and will have to be set on each page load. My use of the captcha control in the DNN Feedback module works fine with the ErrorMessage and Text properties being set to localized values in the Page_Load handler outside of an if Page.IsPostback block.

Thank you William. I will move it to the Page Load Event Handler and yes that makes sense. I wish the captcha control would throw an error when the text box is left blank. Do you have any suggesstions? Thank you
