System.Web.UI.Page.Validate Method

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

Syntax

public virtual void Validate ()

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 System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button, System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton, and System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton Web server controls, the System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputButton, System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputImage, and System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlButton HTML server controls, and controls that can automatically post back to the server such as the System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox, System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBox, System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListControl, and System.Web.UI.WebControls.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 System.Web.UI.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 vstecasplong, 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 vstecasplong page, validation groups are ignored and all controls are validated.
