The MCMSValidators Project

Before we begin writing the code samples in this chapter, let’s create a project file to store our code:

1. 1. In Visual Studio .NET, create a new Class Library project.

2. 2. Name the new project MCMSValidators.

3. 3. Add the following references to the project:

   • System.Web

   • Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing.dll

   • Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing.Extensions.Placeholders.dll

   • Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebControls.dll

   The library files from the Microsoft.ContentManagement namespace can be found in the <install directory>/Microsoft Content Management Server/server/bin directory.

4. 4. Delete Class1.cs, the file that was generated by the wizard. We won’t need it.
