Examples
CustomValidator
In this example we declare two Label controls, one TextBox control, one
Button
control, and one CustomValidator control in an .aspx file. The
user() function
checks the length of the input value. If the length is <8 or >16 the text "A
username must be between 8 and 16 characters!" will appear in the CustomValidator
control.
