Inheriting FormsControl - how can I add custom validation
I have a specific form I have developed that inherits from the standard FormsControl. I need to be able to add an error message to the screen if custom condition of mine fails when submitted. This type of validation falls outside of what I can configure within the back-end, as it requires a web service call prior to submission.
How can I simply add an error message to the UI? Is there a collection of errors that I can append to, that, if any exist, will invalidate the form? Thanks.

What you seek is the following:
base.BeforeFormSave += new EventHandler<CancelEventArgs>(this.FormsControlCustom_BeforeFormSave);
