RegularExpressionValidator.EvaluateIsValid Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:
System.Web.dll

Indicates whether the value in the input control is valid.

protected:
 override bool EvaluateIsValid();
protected override bool EvaluateIsValid ();
override this.EvaluateIsValid : unit -> bool
Protected Overrides Function EvaluateIsValid () As Boolean

Returns

Boolean

true if the value in the input control is valid; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the EvaluateIsValid method in a custom server control so that it always checks the value against the expression for a match in a RegularExpressionValidator.

Important

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.

      // Get the control to validate's validation value
      string controlValue = GetControlValidationValue(this.ControlToValidate);
      
      // If the value is null or empty, then return true
      if (controlValue == null || controlValue.Trim().Length == 0)

        // and see if there is a match.
