There are a couple new exercises in the documentation that are two parts to a single application. The first part covers creating a data entry application with some simple validation. The second exercise takes you through building a custom calendar control to use as a mobile datepicker.

Part 1: Mobile Data Entry and Validation
Part 2: Creating and Using a Custom Control - Calendar DatePicker

Joe,

We are building an application that has around 7 forms. We need to implement data validation for required fields. We followed the same methodology as defined in your exercise.

However, the people picker field and calendar date time control field do not retain values with function: output.LoadFormData(EntreeScope); What is the solution for that?

On the other hand, the for validation of required fields, we need to write custom validation code for each required control. Is there a property that can make a control a required field in the form?

eg. Control.Required = true;

Thanks.

Hi Ahmed,

Currently there is no client-side validation that you can control from server-side properties. So the best solution right now is to do the validation check as described in the exercise.

I will have to talk with our engineers about the best way set the people-picker and calendar controls after validation occurs.
