Class validation with Web UI

I have a class called user

within the accessors of this class I have validation to ensure the format of the data is correct.

In my web UI i pass data from the web controls to these accessors. If there is an error with the data I want to highlight the control. I am thinking of throwing an event in the accessor if an error occurs - this will contain an error message.

I want to map the message to the correct control. How should I do this?

How about having a property in the user class that defines which control has the problem. Then, in your page, you could use FindControl to get a reference to the control that you wish to highlight.
