On page 329 I read that the validation controls provide data validation on the user's forms and at the server as well. Where does the code reside that does the server side validation? Is that accessable to us? How can we test that the server side validation is working?

Hi there,

You can disable JavaScript in the browser (using the Developer Tools in IE, or using Firebug in Firefox for example). Alternatively, you can disable client side validation on the controls using EnableClientScript.

Make sure you check IsValid at the server to work with the return values from the validation controls.

Cheers,

Imar
