Follow this[^] link to learn how to use the CustomValidator control. In your server validation code, write code to access your database and compare the word typed in the textbox to the entries in your database. I doubt you can do this with client side validation.

With AJAX it is possible to use client side validation. Create a generic handler that makes the database calls and writes the results to the outputstream and put in the client side method a synchronous(!) AJAX call to that handler.
