CustomValidator.ControlPropertiesValid Method

  • Reference

Definition

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

Checks the properties of the control for valid values.

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

Returns

Boolean

true if the control properties are valid; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the ControlPropertiesValid method in a custom server control so that it always returns the value of the visible property, as long as the ControlToValidate property of the CustomValidator control is on the page and contains validation properties.
