[thelist] Custom validation ASP.net

[Ken Schaefer]

So,

In your code, you have an <asp:customvalidator /> control?

And you set the onservervalidate property to your custom function (e.g. onservervalidate="MyCustomValidator")?

Then, in your code section, you'd do something like:

Sub MyCustomValidator(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As ServerValidateEventArgs)

        If txtEmail.Text.Length > 0 or txtPhone.Text.Length > 0 then
                e.isValid = True
        Else
                e.isValid = False
        End If

End Sub

And then in your Page_Load() sub you'd have something like:


If Page.IsValid() then

        ' Do good stuff

End If

HTH

Cheers
Ken

Hi folks, have a easy question for you ASP.net guru's.

I'm building a web form and want to require the email OR phone number .
This is simple to me with Javascript, but how would I go about this
utilizing a custom .net validation control?

I've been trying to learn how to create a custom control but am having
trouble with it, using the following argument...

(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtEmail.Text) ||
!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtPhone.Text))

Writing VB in Dreamweaver CS3 without code behind.

Thanks in advance!
