Introduction
This library contains four custom controls. Each control has the validations for the required character type:
NumericTextBox
This control validates on keypress the entered char and it accepts only numbers.
DecimalTextBox
This control validates on keypress the entered char and it accepts only Decimal.
StringTextBox
This control validates on keypress the entered char and it accepts alpha pluse. According to its property AllowSpace and AllowDigit it will accept the digit and space.
CustomTextBox
This control has type property and according to it in validate the validation will occur before submit.
Using the Code
After dragging the control on the page, just set controls properties:
<cc1:StringTextBox ID="StringTextBox1"
runat="server" AllowDigit="true" AllowSpace="true">
cc1:CustomTextBox ID="CustomTextBox6"
runat="server" TextType="AlphaWithSpace" InvalidRequiredMessage="*" >
All these controls have common properties which are included in BaseCustomControl, InvalidRequiredMessage, EnableClientScript, IsRequired, CssClassTxt, CssClassErr.
