Custom validation on a screen

If you have a custom method for validating data and you wish to code this in your ASP page (or outside of the validation script area) then you need to do something like the following

 Entry = ctproductblock.GetEntry("productname");
 if(!validate(Request.Form("productcode")))
 {					
     Entry.ValidateScript = "Valid=false;ErrorStr='Product code already exists';"; 
 }

if our sample above the validate() method checks that the product code is unique.
