Examples

The following example demonstrates how to trap the ServerValidate event to add logic to validate the page.

<%@ Page Language="C#" 
    Inherits="System.Web.UI.MobileControls.MobilePage" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="mobile" 
    Namespace="System.Web.UI.MobileControls" 
    Assembly="System.Web.Mobile" %>

<script runat="server">
    // If the page validates, go to page 2
    protected void Submit_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (Page.IsValid)
        {
            ActiveForm = Form2;
        }
    }
    
    // Validate whether the number is even
    private void ServerValidate(object source, 
        ServerValidateEventArgs args)
    {
        // Convert the text to a number
        int num;
        Int32.TryParse(numberBox.Text, out num);
        // Test for an even number
        if (num > 0)
            args.IsValid = ((num % 2) == 0);
        else
            args.IsValid = false;
    }
</script>

Remarks

If a method is registered with this event, it is called with the value of the ControlToValidate property. Validation succeeds only if this event handler returns true.
