Page.Validate Method ()
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
This method is invoked when a user clicks any ASP.NET server control that has the CausesValidation property set to true, which is the default. These include the Button, ImageButton, and LinkButton Web server controls, the HtmlInputButton, HtmlInputImage, and HtmlButton HTML server controls, and controls that can automatically post back to the server such as the TextBox, CheckBox, ListControl, and BulletedList controls.
To disable validation for any button control on the page, set the button control's CausesValidation property to false.
When this method is invoked, it iterates through the validation controls contained in the ValidatorCollection object associated with the Page.Validators property and invokes the validation logic for each validation control in the current validation group. The validation group is determined by the control that posted the page to the server. If no validation group is specified, then no validation group is used.

The behavior of page validation has changed. In ASP.NET 2.0, controls no longer call the Page.Validate method; they use the Page.Validate(String) method instead. If you use the Page.Validate method on an ASP.NET 2.0 page, validation groups are ignored and all controls are validated. |
The following code example calls the Validate method on a page in a scenario with several different validation groups defined.

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview (Visual Studio). |
