| Conclusion |
So, you can see how this can be very beneficial for
evaluation purposes. The proxy validator can be used to work with a business
object, which allows you to define all of your validation criteria in that
object, instead of defining many different kinds of validators in the ASP.NET
page.
Note: This is built on the most recent Community Technology
Preview (CTP) release made by Microsoft and although it should be very similar
to the final release, it may vary slightly in the final code base.

Maybe i've explained myself wrong...i want to be able to use RuleSet's to validate objects according to those rules. I've seen this article (http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/34950/1954) that seems to be able to do what i want, but i built a small demo projecto and i'm not beeing able to validate against those rules. Have you ever used it? Can you help me with this small demo?
Thank's,
Manuel

I don't believe they have this built in, but it should be possible to achieve. There is a PropertyComparisonValidator which I believe compares the values of two properties together, but if you use a tool like Reflector, you may be able to look at the code and implement something very similar to suite your needs.

Let's say you have an extra property in your User class (userGender) and if the object is set with this attribute to "Female" it should validate the phone number, otherwise it should't. Is it possible to define this?
Best regards,

Check the web.config; this is the preferred area to do so over the @Register declarations. It is in the ASPNET.Integration companion DLL, which you can see in the .NET references list (I believe).

How is the control available on page?

Uhhhh, how did you get the "el:PropertyProxyValidator" control to work on the page. Obviously, it must have been imported through an @Register, or a line in web.config, but that would be an extremely handy thing to show in your article. Thanks.

You are right, there are trade-off's with this approach; if you plan to do business validation, it would make sense to do it with the EL Validation block, especially if most of it is done on the server anyway (complex validation logic that is).
Sometimes I prefer it that way because of some of the problems I've experienced with client-side validation in certain situations, but never the less, it is very helpful to have that client validation capability.
Everything is a trade-off, and it depends on popularity of the applications, network traffic amount, speed, etc.

I can see the benefit of having the validation centralized in the business objects. This way you do not have to duplicate the validation code on the presentation page (WebForm/WinForm). But by doing this, we loose the client side validation that asp validators provide. This means that all validation needs a round trip to the server. So I guess there is a trade off, or should you still use simple validation for example like the requiredfiledvalidator that asp.net provides to limit round trips to the server?

Hello Joydip,
That is soon to be released, and I am working on one that utilizes Localization, and shows how that can be implemented in your validators.

Hi Brian,
This is a nice article. I liked it. But, what about building the custom validators?
