Doing a lot of input validation in VB.NET
- by Andy
I have a form set up where users can enter their booking for a room at my college. I want to validate the user input to avoid SQL injection (my program uses a MS Access database) and also stop numbers and synbols in their name, etc.
I can do the validation fine, but there is to be a lot of validation and then methods executed only if all validation tests come back as true. I did have something like this:
If txtName.Text = "" Then
frmBookErr.SetError(txtName, "Name field cannot be left blank.")
fail = 1
Else
frmBookErr.SetError(txtName, "")
fail = 0
End If
And then check the fail variable, but it obviously gets overridden later in the form if one of the validation tests come back as true.
Can anyone provide some input into this? Thanks.
