Empty fields should not be stored into a database

See more:

I have assigned a required field validator to a textbox. I should get an error message if that field is empty. This error message should come when I click the submit button and the values that I have entered in the other textboxes on the same page should not be stored in the database.
In short the empty values should not be stored into the database.
Can anyone help me out?

Try this example and see how I used the RequiredFieldValidator to make sure that user enters the Name field. I believe, you can implement your own :)

XML

<div>
       <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Name"></asp:Label>
       <asp:TextBox ID="TxtName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><asp:RequiredFieldValidator
           ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" ControlToValidate="TxtName" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Name is required."></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
       <br />
       <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Address"></asp:Label>
       <asp:TextBox ID="TxtAddress" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
       <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" />
   </div>

A validator does that, it stops the page posting back.
