ASP.NET Mobile RangeValidator Control
 Complete ASP.NET Mobile Reference
Definition and Usage
The RangeValidator control is used to check that the user enters an input value that
falls between two values. It is possible to check ranges within
numbers, dates, and characters.
Note: The validation will not fail if the input control is empty. Use
the RequiredFieldValidator control to make the field required.

Example 1
The following example contains two forms in an .aspx file. The first form has
a label with the text "Please enter a number from 1 through 100", an input box to input
a number, a RangeValidator control that checks that the input value is a number
from 1 through 100, 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="You entered number " & txt1.text
end if
end sub
</script>
<Mobile:Form id="f1" runat="server">
<Mobile:Label runat="server">
Please enter a number from 1 through 100
</Mobile:Label>
<Mobile:TextBox id="txt1" runat="server"/>
