Page.Validate Method

Definition

Instructs any validation controls included on the page to validate their assigned information.

Overloads

Validate()

Instructs any validation controls included on the page to validate their assigned information.

Validate(String)

Instructs the validation controls in the specified validation group to validate their assigned information.

Validate()

Instructs any validation controls included on the page to validate their assigned information.

public:
 virtual void Validate();
public virtual void Validate ();
abstract member Validate : unit -> unit
override this.Validate : unit -> unit
Public Overridable Sub Validate ()

Examples

The following code example calls the Validate method on a page in a scenario with several different validation groups defined.

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.

Remarks

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.

Note

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.

Notes to Inheritors

The Validate() method is not used by ASP.NET 2.0. When you are using ASP.NET 2.0, override the Validate(String) method to change page validation behavior.

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.

The Validate method validates the specified validation group. After calling the Validate method on a validation group, the IsValid method will return true only if both the specified validation group and the validation group of the control that caused the page to be posted to the server are valid.
