DC DataEntry Validator is a program development solution that lets you check data entry according to your own preferences. It lets you validate text as you type, limit data to specific characters, and define your own restrictions.

Features: DC DataEntry Validator has data validation built in. Validation is done by the component based on your definitions/ rules. Typically when one programs he/she does not worry about validation or have only rudimentary validations built. When the program is tested, problems come up and the programmer has to check through all the code to find where the problem lies. The problem could be in the data entry module. This module can save you the back and forth. The alerts this validator creates are always in the foreground so that the instant an error is made in data entry, there`s an immediate intimation. It lets you validate text as you type, limit data to specific characters, and define your own restrictions. Programming gets easier whether you are writing a simple script or an elaborate application, data input related worries are taken care of.

When setting up the validation rules you can specify digits 0 thru 9, define numbers in terms of decimal places. Alphabetic characters and the case can be specified for validation. Special characters can be treated as per your preferences. Various entry fields can be labeled with name; "First name" or "family name" for example. This can be used with all COM-based software coding such as Delphi, Visual Basic, Borland C++, and Visual Basic C++. After the initial definitions have been done through a few lines of code, there is no need to worry about any other issues about data validation. The Validator installs automatically on Windows 98, NT, 2000, and XP. To run DataEntry Validator on your project, select “Add Reference” from the Project menu, click Browse, and open the DC_DataEntryValidator10.dll file.

Overall: It is a good piece of code that can really ease development work, as most often invalid data cause problems. It is quite easy to integrate too.
