Examples

CustomValidator
In this example we declare two Label controls, one TextBox control, one Button control, and one CustomValidator control  in an .aspx file. The user() function checks the length of the input value. If the length is <8 or >16 the text "A username must be between 8 and 16 characters!" will appear in the CustomValidator control.
