Professional in C# and Visual Basic Part 27. Building on the revolutionary release, adds several key new developer features including AJAX, LINQ, and a new CSS designer in Visual Web Developer 2008. The dramatic reduction in code that developers realized from the more than 50 new server controls in now allows developers the time to make their applications more interactive with AJAX, to work with data in their preferred language with LINQ, and to build visually attractive and consistent standards-based sites with CSS. . | Chapter 4 Validation Server Controls F CustomValidator - Windows Internet Explorer 1 1 a WÏ j j jg http localhost 60737 Validatk n Defaultaspx X Goocte P 4 CustomValidator a a Page Tools Number 34 Number must be divisible by 5 -j Button Done Internet Protected Mode Off Figure 4-7 If you create your own server-side validations you can make them as complex as your applications require. For instance using the CustomValidator for server-side validations is something you do if you want to check the user s input against dynamic values coming from XML files databases or elsewhere. For an example of using the CustomValidator control for some custom server-side validation you can work with the same example as you did when creating the client-side validation. Now create a server-side check that makes sure a user-input number is divisible by 5. This is illustrated in Listing 4-15.
