clsSAIFWebMaskEditBinder

This binder adapts the classic Infragistics v10.3 WebMaskEdit control variant used by SAIF pages so clsObjectBindManager can push business-object values into mask-edit fields and pull edited values back out through the control property selected by ControlBindProperty. It belongs to the legacy InfragisticsClassicControls generation rather than the newer InfragisticsControls family documented elsewhere in this library.

Purpose

• Bridge classic SAIF WebMaskEdit fields into the library's shared object-binding pipeline.
• Support multiple control-side value projections (Text, PhoneValue, TaxIDValue, Value, RawText) when synchronizing with a bound object property.
• Optionally wire the control's ValueChange event so edits flow back immediately when UseEvents is enabled.

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 (embedded/bundled as source, not independently packaged)

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
BindProperty	Property BindProperty() As String	Names the business-object property that this binder reads from and writes to.
BindSource	Property BindSource() As Object	Supplies the business object being edited and also becomes the validation source used by inherited error harvesting.
SAIFWebMaskEdit	Property SAIFWebMaskEdit() As WebMaskEdit	Attaches the classic SAIF mask-edit control instance and registers it with the base binder infrastructure.
Init()	Overrides Sub Init()	Hooks ValueChange for control-to-object or two-way bindings when event-driven synchronization is enabled.
ObjectToControl()	Overrides Function ObjectToControl() As Boolean	Pushes the bound property into the selected mask-edit surface, including SAIF-specific phone and tax ID projections.
New()	Sub New()	Defaults the control-side projection to ControlBindProperty.Value.
New(inArgs As SAIFMaskEditBindingArgs)	Sub New(ByVal inArgs As SAIFMaskEditBindingArgs)	Seeds the binder from the library's SAIF mask-edit argument bag, including bind source, property, direction, and control projection.

Inherited public members

Member	Signature	Purpose	Origin
ContainsError	ReadOnly Property ContainsError As Boolean	Set by GetErrors()/validation processing; when true, Validate()/RefreshValidation() counts this binder toward the overall invalid result and its control receives error-state CSS via SetControlFormat().	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
IsDualBinding	ReadOnly Property IsDualBinding As Boolean	When true, ObjectToControl()/ControlToObject() read and write the display object/property while GetErrors() checks a separate validation object/property, as configured by AddDualBinder().	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
ControlPadding	Property ControlPadding As PadArgs	When UsePadding is enabled, pads or trims the value written to the control during ObjectToControl(), so fixed-width display formatting is applied without changing the underlying object value.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
ObjectPadding	Property ObjectPadding As PadArgs	When UsePadding is enabled, pads or strips padding from the value written back to the bound property during ControlToObject(), so stored data is not polluted with display-only padding characters.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
UsePadding	Property UsePadding As Boolean	Enables the ControlPadding/ObjectPadding transforms during ObjectToControl()/ControlToObject(); when false, values pass through unpadded regardless of the padding arguments configured.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
UseEvents	Property UseEvents As Boolean	When true, Init() wires the control's native change event so a user edit immediately calls ControlToObject() instead of waiting for an explicit BindToObject()/Validate() call.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
ControlErrors	ReadOnly Property ControlErrors As ArrayList	Holds the error text GetErrors() collects from the bound object's IDataErrorInfo implementation; Validate() aggregates these strings into the consolidated ErrorLabel/SAIFMessage output.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
BindType	Property BindType As BindTypes	Determines which of ObjectToControl()/ControlToObject() actually run during DataBind()/BindToObject(), controlling whether this binder is push-only, pull-only, both, or validation-only.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
FormControl	Overridable Property FormControl As WebControl	Setting this property runs ProcessControl, which applies binder-specific control setup (event wiring readiness, CSS baseline) before the control participates in binding and validation passes.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
FormControlID	Overridable ReadOnly Property FormControlID As String	Supplied to Update() and error-focus logic to locate this binder's control instance on the page without holding a direct control reference.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
Init()	MustOverride Sub Init()	Called once during AddBinder() registration; each concrete binder overrides this to hook the native control event needed for event-driven ControlToObject() and to perform any control-specific setup.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
ObjectToControl()	MustOverride Function ObjectToControl() As Boolean	Invoked by DataBind() for binders configured as ObjectToControl/TwoWay; each concrete binder overrides this to translate the bound property's value into the control-specific display state.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
ControlToObject()	Protected Friend MustOverride Sub ControlToObject()	Invoked by BindToObject() for binders configured as ControlToObject/TwoWay; each concrete binder overrides this to convert the control's current value back into the bound property's type.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
SetControlFormat(inValid As Boolean)	Protected Friend Overridable Sub SetControlFormat(inValid As Boolean)	Called by Validate()/RefreshValidation() after error collection; sets the control's CssClass to the valid/error color per BR-BIND-001, BR-BIND-002, and BR-BIND-003, giving the reader a visual cue of validation state.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
GetErrors()	Protected Friend Overridable Sub GetErrors()	Reads the bound object's IDataErrorInfo.Item(property) during Validate()/RefreshValidation() and appends any non-empty message to ControlErrors, driving both ContainsError and the consolidated error display.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
GetObjectValueAsString(inBizObject, inPropertyName)	Function GetObjectValueAsString(inBizObject As Object, inPropertyName As String) As String	Used by ObjectToControl() to fetch the bound property's current value as display-ready text, applying ObjectPadding/ControlPadding first when UsePadding is enabled.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
GetObjectValue(inBizObject, inPropertyName)	Function GetObjectValue(inBizObject As Object, inPropertyName As String) As Object	Used by ObjectToControl() and type-sensitive binders to fetch the bound property's value in its native CLR type, before any control-specific conversion or formatting.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
SetObjectValueAsString(inBizObject, inPropertyName, inValue)	Protected Function SetObjectValueAsString(inBizObject As Object, inPropertyName As String, inValue As String) As Boolean	Used by ControlToObject() to write a control-derived string back onto the bound property, applying padding/trim rules first when UsePadding is enabled, so the object receives a correctly formatted value.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
SetObjectValue(inBizObject, inPropertyName, inValue)	Protected Function SetObjectValue(inBizObject As Object, inPropertyName As String, inValue As Object) As Boolean	Used by ControlToObject() to write a converted, strongly typed value back onto the bound property, bypassing string formatting for binders that perform their own type conversion.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
ValidationKey	Friend Overridable ReadOnly Property ValidationKey As String	Computed by AddBinder() to key the bound object into m_ValidationObjects per BR-BIND-006, ensuring repeated Validate() passes re-check the correct distinct object.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase
IsSAIFFrameWorkObject	Friend Overridable ReadOnly Property IsSAIFFrameWorkObject(Optional inObj As Object) As Boolean	Detects SAIF framework objects by walking the CLR base-type chain for clsBusinessBase/clsBusinessCollectionBase.	SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103 — clsObjectBinderBase

Behavioral notes

• ObjectToControl() switches on ControlBindProperty, allowing the same binder to target Text, PhoneValue, TaxIDValue, Value, or RawText depending on how clsObjectBindManager configured it.
• ControlToObject() writes PhoneValue and TaxIDValue via reflective property lookup on the control, while Text and RawText both persist the control's text content back to the bound object.
• Unsupported control-bind selections throw an ApplicationException during object-to-control synchronization rather than silently falling back.

Constraints and usage notes

• This page documents the compiled classic control implementation under InfragisticsClassicControls; similarly named root-level files are excluded from the project build.
• The constructor taking SAIFMaskEditBindingArgs does not attach the control instance; callers still need to assign SAIFWebMaskEdit before use.
• Validation formatting and error collection come from inherited clsObjectBinderBase behavior rather than binder-local logic.
