  1. Session 6:Validating User Input

  2. Outline • Overview of User Input Validation • Client-Side and Server-Side Validation • ASP.NET Validation Controls • Using Validation Controls • Input Validation Controls • RequiredFieldValidator • CompareValidator • RangeValidator • Other Validator Controls • Page Validation

  3. What Is Input Validation? • Verifies that a control value is correctly entered by the user • Blocks the processing of a page until all controls are valid • Avoids spoofingor the addition ofmalicious code

  4. Client-Side and Server-Side Validation User Enters Data • ASP.NET can create both client-side and server-side validation • Client-side validation • Dependent on browser version • Instant feedback • Reduces postback cycles • Server-side validation • Repeats all client-side validation • Can validate against stored data Error Message Valid? No Client Yes Server Valid? No Yes Web ApplicationProcessed

  5. ASP.NET Validation Controls ASP.NET provides validation controls to: • Compare values • Compare to a custom formula • Compare to a range • Compare to a regular expression pattern • Require user input • Summarize the validation controls on a page

  6. Adding Validation Controls to a Web Form 1 • Add a validation control • Select the input control to validate • Set validation properties 2 3 <asp:TextBox id="txtName" runat="server" /> <asp:Type_of_Validator id="Validator_id" runat="server"ControlToValidate="txtName" ErrorMessage="Message_for_error_summary"Display="static|dynamic|none" Text="Text_to_display_by_input_control"> </asp:Type_of_Validator>

  7. Positioning Validation Controls on a Web Form • Create error messages • Select display mode • Static • Dynamic

  8. Combining Validation Controls • Can have multiple validation controls on a single input control • Only the RequiredFieldValidator checks empty controls

  9. Input Validation Controls • RequiredFieldValidator • CompareValidator • RangeValidator

  10. The RequiredFieldValidator Control • The RequiredFieldValidator is used to ensure that a required field is filled in by the user • ControlToValidate (ID of field to validate) • ErrorMessage (if ValidatorSummary is used) • Text (error message to display) • InitialValue (prompt visible in field)

  11. The CompareValidator Control • The CompareValidator is used to compare the value entered with (an)other value(s) • ControltoValidate (ID of field to validate) • ValueToCompare (value being compared) or • ControlToCompare (ID of field being compared) • Type (specifies data type to compare to) • Operator (specifies type of comparison)

  12. The RangeValidator Control • RangeValidator • ControlToValidate (ID of field to validate) • MinimumValue (lower limit of range) • MaximumValue (upper limit of range) • Type (data type of field)

  13. The RegularExpressionValidator Control • Used when input must conform to a pre-defined pattern • Visual Studio .NET includes patterns for: • Telephone numbers • Postal codes • E-mail addresses <asp:RegularExpressionValidator … ControlToValidate="US_PhoneNumber"…ValidationExpression="((\(\d{3}\) ?)|(\d{3}-))?\d{3}-\d{4} " …>*</asp:RegularExpressionValidator >

  14. The CustomValidator Control • Can validate on client-side, server-side, or both • ClientValidationFunction • OnServerValidate • Validate with: • Formula • Data • COM objects • Web Service

  15. The Page.IsValid Property Polls all validation controls Sub cmdSubmit_Click(s As Object, e As EventArgs) If Page.IsValid Then Message.Text = "Page is valid!" ' Perform database updates or other logic here End If End Sub

  16. Using the ValidationSummary Control • Collects error messages from all validation controls on the page • Can display text and error messages • Use Text="*" to indicate the location of the error <asp:ValidationSummary id="valSummary" runat="server"HeaderText="These errors were found:"ShowSummary="True" DisplayMode="List"/>
