Hello everyone,

I have a custom profile field, "ConstituentID", and I want to do custom validation on that field when the user updates their profile.  I'm not talking about making sure that it's a certain number of digits and so forth -- I need to call a web service to check to see if the number is valid.  So I need to do this in code somewhere.

I'm not sure exactly how to do this.  Can someone give me some pointers?

I've modified the various ascx and .ascx.vb files to do the validation I need... but I'm still hoping there's a better way to do this.  I don't want to have to put my changes back in every time I upgrade (especially with the speed at which DNN puts out new releases).

The solution I'm using (modified the UserControls directly) is also a very bad solution because it messes with the way that admins add new users.  Now that I've got custom validation that checks for a valid profile on user creation, admins cannot create a new user!  This is because on the admin's "Add New User" page, it does not show them the profile, and I am checking for a valid profile before letting them add a user.

So, how do I get custom validation on a profile field without these hackish workarounds?  Anyone have a suggestion?
