Unit II: Using validation controls


Overview of the validation controls – using the RequiredFieldvalidator,
RangeValidator, CompareValidator, CustomValidator, RegularExpressionValidator,
ValidationSummary - Using richcontrols : Accepting File Uploads – Displaying a
calendar displaying advertisements – displaying different page views.

Form Validation:
A web form has many input controls like TextBoxs. These controls should have right
type of data before submitting form at server side for data processing. Thus checking the
input controls called form validation.
Form validation includes-
1. Check control has required value.
2. Check value of control falls between minimum and maximum value.
3. Compare value of control against another value.
4. Check value of control is match with given format.
For example: If data is not input into TextBox then an error message should be display. It
is done using RequiredFieldValidator control.

Client side and server side Validation:


The validation of control can be performed at client side and server side.

1. Client side validation: When validation code is executed at client side by Browser
software called client side validation. Client side validation prevents form submission
to the server until all input values of control becomes error less. Validation code is
written / generated in JScript for client side validation. Client side validation saves
time for checking error that may consumes in between client to server and server to
client.

2. Server side validation: When validation code is executed at server side by any
programming language (C# / VB) called server side validation. Server side validation
happens after form submission to the server. At server side, values of controls are
checked. If any error founds then response to the client side using new web page.
This process consumes more time as compared to client side validation.

Validation Controls:
ASP.NET provides following set of validation controls that may validate value of form
control at client side (default) or server side.
1. RequiredFieldValidator
2. RangeValidator
3. CompareValidator
4. RegularExpressionValidator
5. CustomeValidator

ValidationSummaryThese validation controls can be apply on any control that has


decorated with ValidationProperty attribute.

RequiredFieldValidator control:

This validation control checks to required value is input or not into specified input control

- ControlToValidate: ID of control to be validate.
- Text: text to display for the validator when the validated control is invalid.
- ErrorMessage: Message to display in a ValidationSummary when the
validated control is invalid.
- ToolTip: The tooltip displayed when the mouse is over the control.
- EnableClientScript: If it is true then validation is performed at client side by

Procedure to add advertisements on AdRotator control using XML file.

1) Add AdRotator control on web page. (AdRotator1)


2) Create AdImage folder in root folder of website.
3) Copy Ad Images into AdImage folder.(let ad1.jpg, ad2.jpg)
4) Open an XML: Add New Item🡪add XML file(adXML.xml)
5) Write following XML code to add list of ad images.

<Advertisements>
<Ad>
<ImageUrl>~/AdImage/Ad1.jpg</ImageUrl>
<AlternateText>LRsir</AlternateText>
<NavigateUrl>http://www.LRsir.net</NavigateUrl>

When web page is refreshed then Ad images replaced by another Ad images. Number of
occurrence of any advertisement depends upon impressions value.

ASP.NET - Multi Views


MultiView and View controls allow you to divide the content of a page into different
groups, displaying only one group at a time. Each View control manages one group of
content and all the View controls are held together in a MultiView control.

The MultiView control is responsible for displaying one View control at a time. The View
displayed is called the active view.

The syntax of MultiView control is:

<asp:MultView ID= "MultiView1" runat= "server">


</asp:MultiView>

The syntax of View control is:

<asp:View ID= "View1" runat= "server">


</asp:View>

However, the View control cannot exist on its own. It would render error if you try to use
it stand-alone. It is always used with a Multiview control as:

<asp:MultView ID= "MultiView1" runat= "server">


<asp:View ID= "View1" runat= "server"> </asp:View>
</asp:MultiView>

Properties of View and MultiView Controls


Both View and MultiView controls are derived from Control class and inherit all its
properties, methods, and events. The most important property of the View control is
Visible property of type Boolean, which sets the visibility of a view.

The MultiView control has the following important properties:

Properties Description

Views Collection of View controls within the MultiView.

A zero based index that denotes the active view. If no view is active, then the
ActiveViewIndex
index is -1.

The CommandName attribute of the button control associated with the navigation of the
MultiView control are associated with some related field of the MultiView control.

N.MANIMOZHI-AP/ DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER APPLICATION- RASC Page 16


22UCSCC62 : DOTNET PROGRAMMING

For example, if a button control with CommandName value as NextView is associated


with the navigation of the multiview, it automatically navigates to the next view when the
button is clicked.

The following table shows the default command names of the above properties:

Properties Description

NextViewCommandName NextView

PreviousViewCommandName PrevView

SwitchViewByIDCommandName SwitchViewByID

SwitchViewByIndexCommandName SwitchViewByIndex

The important methods of the multiview control are:

Methods Description

SetActiveview Sets the active view

GetActiveview Retrieves the active view

Every time a view is changed, the page is posted back to the server and a number of
events are raised. Some important events are:

Events Description

ActiveViewChanged Raised when a view is changed

Activate Raised by the active view

Deactivate Raised by the inactive view

Apart from the above mentioned properties, methods and events, multiview control
inherits the members of the control and object class.

Example
The example page has three views. Each view has two button for navigating through the
views.

The content file code is as follows:

The MultiView.ActiveViewIndex determines which view will be shown. This is the only
view rendered on the page. The default value for the ActiveViewIndex is -1, when no view
is shown. Since the ActiveViewIndex is defined as 2 in the example, it shows the third
view, when executed.
