### Example 1

The following example contains two forms in an .aspx file. The first form has a label with the text "Please enter a ZIP code", an input box to input a ZIP code, a RegularExpressionValidator control that checks that the input value contains exactly five digits, a RequiredFieldValidator control that checks that the input field isn't empty, and a submit button. The second page is activated by the submit button on the first page, and displays a response. If the input value validates as an error, an error message is displayed:

    <%@ Page
    Inherits="System.Web.UI.MobileControls.MobilePage"%>
    <%@ Register TagPrefix="Mobile"
    Namespace="System.Web.UI.MobileControls"
    Assembly="System.Web.Mobile" %>

    <script runat="server">
    sub page2(Sender as Object,E as EventArgs)
    if Page.IsValid then
      ActiveForm=f2
      lbl2.Text="The ZIP code entered is: " & txt1.text
    end if
    end sub
    </script>

    <Mobile:Form id="f1" runat="server">
      <Mobile:Label runat="server">
      Please enter a ZIP code
      </Mobile:Label>

      <Mobile:TextBox id="txt1" runat="server"/>

      <Mobile:RegularExpressionValidator
      ControlToValidate="txt1"
      ValidationExpression="\d{5}"
      Text="The zip code must be five digits!"
      runat="server" />

      <Mobile:RequiredFieldValidator
      ControlToValidate="txt1"
      Text="A ZIP code is required!"
      runat="server" />

      <Mobile:Command runat="server"
      OnClick="page2">Submit
      </Mobile:Command>
    </Mobile:Form>

    <Mobile:Form id="f2" runat="server">
      <Mobile:Label id="lbl2" runat="server" />
    </Mobile:Form>
