Custom Validator Event Executes but does stop or disaplay error

[NRao]

Hello,

I am using a custom validator control and wanted to validate server side and
do not have client side validation function. The server side event executes
but does not stop the page or does not display the error.

<asp:CustomValidator id="custWDEndDate" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtPickupDate" ErrorMessage="Not
Valid" EnableClientScript="False"
OnServerValidate="custWDEndDate_ServerValidate"></asp:CustomValidator>

protected void custWDEndDate_ServerValidate(object source,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
args.IsValid = false;
}


Any ideas

It's not meant to stop the page or display an error. You're meant to check
Page.IsValid and then decide what you want to do if the page is not valid.
