      <para>The <see cref="T:System.Web.Security.MembershipValidatePasswordEventHandler" /> delegate is defined for the <see cref="E:System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider.ValidatingPassword" /> event for a membership provider. The <see cref="E:System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider.ValidatingPassword" /> event is raised when the <see cref="M:System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider.CreateUser(System.String,System.String,System.String,System.String,System.String,System.Boolean,System.Object,System.Web.Security.MembershipCreateStatus@)" /> method, the <see cref="M:System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider.ChangePassword(System.String,System.String,System.String)" /> method, or the <see cref="M:System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider.ResetPassword(System.String,System.String)" /> method of a membership provider is called.</para>
      <para>You can use the <see cref="E:System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider.ValidatingPassword" /> event to validate password formats and values for membership users.</para>
      <para>You can cancel the current <see cref="M:System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider.CreateUser(System.String,System.String,System.String,System.String,System.String,System.Boolean,System.Object,System.Web.Security.MembershipCreateStatus@)" />, <see cref="M:System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider.ChangePassword(System.String,System.String,System.String)" />, or <see cref="M:System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider.ResetPassword(System.String,System.String)" /> action by setting the <see cref="P:System.Web.Security.ValidatePasswordEventArgs.Cancel" /> property of the supplied <see cref="T:System.Web.Security.ValidatePasswordEventArgs" /> to true during the <see cref="E:System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider.ValidatingPassword" /> event.</para>
      <para>If you cancel the current action by setting the <see cref="P:System.Web.Security.ValidatePasswordEventArgs.Cancel" /> property to true, you can set the <see cref="P:System.Web.Security.ValidatePasswordEventArgs.FailureInformation" /> property of the supplied <see cref="T:System.Web.Security.ValidatePasswordEventArgs" /> to an exception that describes the reason for the password-validation failure. The calling method will throw the exception that the <see cref="P:System.Web.Security.ValidatePasswordEventArgs.FailureInformation" /> property is set to. If the <see cref="P:System.Web.Security.ValidatePasswordEventArgs.FailureInformation" /> property is null, the caller will throw a generic password-validation failure exception.</para>
