Examples

The following code example demonstrates using the RegisterForEventValidation method and the ValidateEvent method to register a callback for validation and to validate that the callback originated from the page. To improve on the validation shown in the example, you could modify the validation argument parameter to contain information specific to the user such as an identity or role
