Validations

Numeric Field supports validations in the following execution order.

  • Not null validation
  • Data format validation
  • Compare to value validation
  • Compare to control validation
  • Range validation
  • Custom validation

Custom Validation

Numeric Field supports custom validation at both client-side and server-side. To setup the custom validation error message, use the NumericField.CustomValidation.Message property; to setup client-side custom validation, use the NumericField.CustomValidation.ClientValidator property to specify the name of a JavaScript function that is used to perform client-side custom validation; to setup server-side custom validation, handle the server-side CustomValidate event.

The custom client validator function must take one parameter which in run-time will receve the validation context as a JSON object in the following format:

{"source":textBoxId, "data":floatValue, "callback":callbackFunction}.

Here the "source" contains the id of the text box; "data" contains the float type numeric value; "callback" contains a function that can be used during asynchronous custom validation to notify the XField's Client Validation Engine about the result of the validation.

To perform synchronous custom validation, add validation logic in the custom client validator you provide, and return a boolean value to indicate whether the field data passes the validation or not.

To perform asynchronous (Ajax) custom validation, first save the callback function somewhere (typically in a global variable); then setup Ajax call to the server-side to handle custom validation. After the Ajax call completes, notify the XField's Client Validation Engine about the result of the validation by invoking the saved callback with a boolean value to indicate whether the field data passes the validation or not.
