Custom validation

[Morten]

Hi!

I've been experimenting with server side custom validation and I can't make
it work.

I have a text box which I'd like to validate by sending the content to a web
service which will check it and return 0 or 1. I've added a custom validator
control in VS .Net 2003. The code looks like this:

<asp:CustomValidator id="CustomValidator1" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="CVRNummer" ErrorMessage="TEST"></asp:CustomValidator>

By double-clicking the control the follwoing was added in the code-behind
file:

private void CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(object source,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
}

I've tried to add all sorts of things to this Sub to make something happen
but so far nothing has worked. My last attempt was this:

private void CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(object source,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
Label3.Text = "TEST";
}

which unfortunately didn't give me the expected result. Can someone help me
out here?

Best regards

Morten

you calling the page.validate() to kick it off?

Hi!

Don't think so. Where do I do that?

catch the postback (button click, etc) and just run a Page.Validate().
Make sure to do a Page.IsValid() check right after, to ensure it
passes/passed.
