LoginCancelEventArgs.Cancel Property

public:
 property bool Cancel { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public bool Cancel { get; set; }

member this.Cancel : bool with get, set

Public Property Cancel As Boolean

Property Value

true if the event should be canceled; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example uses the LoggingIn event to ensure that the user has entered a well-formed email address in the UserName property. If not, the LoggingIn event handler sets the Cancel property to true, and an error message is displayed. For an .aspx file that can be used to run the example, see the LoginCancelEventArgs topic.

public partial class LoginCancelEventArgscs_aspx : System.Web.UI.Page
{

    bool IsValidEmail(string strIn)
    {
        // Return true if strIn is in valid email format.
        return System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(strIn, 
            @"^([\w-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([\w-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$");
    }
    
    protected void OnLoggingIn(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginCancelEventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsValidEmail(Login1.UserName))
        {
            Login1.InstructionText = "You must enter a valid email address.";
            e.Cancel = true;
        }
        else
        {
            Login1.InstructionText = String.Empty;
        }
    }
}
