Example 1
The following example contains two forms in an .aspx file. The first form has
a label with the text "Please enter a ZIP code", an input box to input
a ZIP code, a RegularExpressionValidator control that checks that the input value
contains exactly five digits, a RequiredFieldValidator control that checks that the input
field isn't empty, and a submit button. The second page is activated by the
submit button on the first page, and displays a response. If the input value
validates as an error, an error message is displayed:
<%@ Page
Inherits="System.Web.UI.MobileControls.MobilePage"%>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="Mobile"
Namespace="System.Web.UI.MobileControls"
Assembly="System.Web.Mobile" %>
<script runat="server">
sub page2(Sender as Object,E as EventArgs)
if Page.IsValid then
ActiveForm=f2
lbl2.Text="The ZIP code entered is: " & txt1.text
end if
end sub
</script>
<Mobile:Form id="f1" runat="server">
<Mobile:Label runat="server">
Please enter a ZIP code
</Mobile:Label>
<Mobile:TextBox id="txt1" runat="server"/>

</Mobile:Command>
</Mobile:Form>
