$(function() {
    $.icsEditForm.attachEventHandler(function(p) {
        if (!condition)
            p.stop = true;    // Cancel the save. 
    });
});

// Register custom event handler to save the object 
// using the native capabilities of jQuery. 
$(function() {
    $('#pageForm').on('onCheckStarts', function(e, p) {
        if (!condition1)
            e.preventDefault();    // Cancel saving (option 1). 

        if (!condition2)
            p.stop = true;         // Cancel saving (option 2).

Data validation

Data validation occurs in several stages.

• First, you need to the maximum client-side validators (jQuery). These validators should block the form submission to the server if something is not filled or filled incorrectly (so we reduce server load and increase responsiveness and interactivity of the application). If it is a simple required, you can use ASP.NET-validator enabled, the client handler then jQuery-validators is not necessary. The main thing to specify ValidationGroup.

• After client-side validators need to use the server and place it on the form ValidationSummaryyou need to display a beautiful error messages.

• The third line – business server. It is also necessary, as the logic may be not only on the form and test it, as a rule, should always. Form, unlike the rest potential of» «visualmill, the response from the business server has to transform in clear view and show to the user. It is recommended to handle different from the standard way event save the object in the method Save and SaveAndClose through block try-catch. In catch to catch the message from the business server (preferably typed) and inform the user about the problem. This can be done either through a message to WebErrorBox or mark on the page or something.
