<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="True" %> <html> <head> <script runat="server"> protected void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) { int Answer; // Due to a timing issue with when page validation occurs, call the // Validate method to ensure that the values on the page are valid. Page.Validate(); // Add the values in the text boxes if the page is valid. if(Page.IsValid) { Answer = Convert.ToInt32(Value1.Text) + Convert.ToInt32(Value2.Text); AnswerMessage.Text = Answer.ToString(); } } </script> </head> <body> <form runat="server"> <h3> TextBox Example </h3> <table> <tr> <td colspan="5"> Enter integer values into the text boxes. <br> The two values are automatically added <br> when you tab out of the text boxes. <br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> </td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td> <asp:TextBox ID="Value1" Columns="2" MaxLength="3" AutoPostBack="True" Text="1" runat="server"/> </td> <td> + </td> <td> <asp:TextBox ID="Value2" Columns="2" MaxLength="3" AutoPostBack="True" Text="1" runat="server"/> </td> <td> = </td> <td> <asp:Label ID="AnswerMessage" runat="server"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="Value1RequiredValidator" ControlToValidate="Value1" ErrorMessage="Please enter a value.<br>" EnableClientScript="False" Display="Dynamic" runat="server"/> <asp:RangeValidator ID="Value1RangeValidator" ControlToValidate="Value1" Type="Integer" MinimumValue="1" MaximumValue="100" ErrorMessage="Please enter an integer <br> between than 1 and 100.<br>" EnableClientScript="False" Display="Dynamic" runat="server"/> </td> <td colspan="2"> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="Value2RequiredValidator" ControlToValidate="Value2" ErrorMessage="Please enter a value.<br>" EnableClientScript="False" Display="Dynamic" runat="server"/> <asp:RangeValidator ID="Value2RangeValidator" ControlToValidate="Value2" Type="Integer" MinimumValue="1" MaximumValue="100" ErrorMessage="Please enter an integer <br> between than 1 and 100.<br>" EnableClientScript="False" Display="Dynamic" runat="server"/> </td> <td>   </td </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html>
