Hi i'm new in wmbraco world...and i have a question for big guys.

I create an umbraco action handler to test for example the length of property. i throw an exception but nothing happens.


Now the behavior is very strange. So i can manage what must to save ...but the user don't know the reason for that a fields is not save in db.My goal is to inform the user that his enter an wrong value with a friendly mesage .i want to open an pop-up in umbraco with an corresponding message for example.

I know that we have an validation fields on document type but if io put there an regular expresion....i have an messages like that..."the parameter has wrong value."

I want something like that ...PropName must have between 2-20 charecters. if is possible.

thank you

The action handler is not designed for that sort of usage.

What you should do instead is to use the "Validation" field when you add a property to your document type. In that field you can enter a Regular Expression, and umbraco will validate the entered value for you.
