  • Reference

Definition

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

Raises the ServerValidate event for the CustomValidator control.

protected:
 virtual bool OnServerValidate(System::String ^ value);
protected virtual bool OnServerValidate (string value);
abstract member OnServerValidate : string -> bool
override this.OnServerValidate : string -> bool
Protected Overridable Function OnServerValidate (value As String) As Boolean

Parameters

value
String

The value to validate.

Returns

Boolean

true if the value specified by the value parameter passes validation; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to specify and code a handler for a server-side CustomValidator control.

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

The ServerValidate event is raised when validation is performed on the server.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.

The OnServerValidate method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnServerValidate(String) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnServerValidate(String) method so that registered delegates receive the event.
