You can create validators to validate the user data.

You can display a list of valid values for the user and display an invalid data image if the user types invalid data.

The default invalid image is a red ellipse.

You can use any of several types of validator methods to create the validation criteria.

• CreateDateValidator Method
• CreateFormulaListValidator Method
• CreateNumberValidator Method
• CreateTextLengthValidator Method
• CreateFormulaValidator Method
• CreateListValidator Method

Set the HighlightInvalidData property to use the red ellipse as an invalid data image. You can also customize the invalid data image with the InvalidDataPresenter control.
