Code Description
Combines textbox and multi-validation in one
control. Allows textbox to do self checking and self error response messages.
Control can also protect against sql injection attacks and client script attacks.
Textbox also can do credit card checking using the LUHN Formula Mod-10 check.
Other validation types include PHONE, EMAIL, ZIP CODE, CREDIT CARD, URL, INTERNATIONAL
PHONE, DATE, ADVANCED DATE, UK DATE, UK POSTAL CODE, SSN and IPADDRESS.
Version
1.0 beta (My Control is still in testing mode but seems
almost bug free! But what code doesn't have bugs?)
How to use
Compile code into a .net dll assembly and put into your website home (bin) folder.
Then add the following code to your asp.net webpage.
<%@ Register TagPrefix="Hive" NameSpace="Hive.Controls" Assembly="Hive"%>
Then add the textbox control in your form.
<Hive:textbox id="textbox1" runat="server" req="True"/>

Details
I
built this user control because I was tired of writing so much repetitive code.
It usually takes several lines of code to run validation on one textbox, but not
now. I combined validation with a textbox control and made it accessible through
properties of one control. Making for slimmer and easy to manage code. I also
combined error label response messages built in. This allows users filling out
a form to see their mistakes. I also added a label property to describe the textfield
box. YES! All in one function.
My type property can run many validation type functions. I have creating many
different types already: PHONE, EMAIL, ZIPCODE, CREDITCARD, URL, INTERNATIONALPHONE,
DATE, ADVANCEDDATE, UKDATE, UKPOSTALCODE, SSN, IPADDRESS and so on. This makes
it so neat to have these at your disposal at any time. My control Implements
IValidator which allows me to use the isvalid and
errormessage properties. Doing this allows
me to control the page.isvalid property and change it for each control. So each
control can do multiple validation. My control can check character length of both
min and max. It can also check if a textfield is required.
My control can also check characters to make sure those characters are allowed.
By setting the chars property character validation will occur: ALL, NONHTML, NOQUOTES,
NODOUBLEQUOTES, ALPHA, ALPHANUMERIC, NUMERIC, etc. By controlling the characters
you can protect against sql injection and client script attacks. You can also
make sure your database doesn't get screwed up. HEHE ;)
My control has so many features in it that sometimes I forget I created it. LOL
Anyway I hope this has been a little help for you guys on how to do custom controls
with custom validation. If you guys like my code let me know.
