Customvalidator not working using Validationgroup

**pompeymike** · Sep 13 '07, 01:38 PM

Hi, I have a form with panels, within which is a Formview. In the InsertItemTempl ate for the FormView I have validation using RequireFieldVal idators. These all work correctly, but if I use a CustomValidator it totally ignores it. I have debugged the app and it quite happily goes through the code behind, setting eArgs.IsValid = False , but no error message - it just goes off and inserts the data, using the SqlDataSource.

Has anyone any clues?

Code is........

Code:

<td style="text-align: right; height: 30px; width: 368px;">TESTER :</td>

<td style="width: 325px; height: 29px">

<asp:TextBox Runat="server" ID="tbxTESTER" Height="24px" Width="300px" />

<asp:CustomValidator ID="cvTESTER" runat="server" EnableViewState="False" ErrorMessage="TESTER Message" OnServerValidate="TESTER" ValidationGroup="ValidEnterReceiverGroup" SetFocusOnError="True" ControlToValidate="tbxTESTER" > </asp:CustomValidator></td>

Public Sub TESTER(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal eArgs As ServerValidateEventArgs) 
Dim TESTER As TextBox = CType(EnterReceiverFormView.FindControl("tbxTESTER"), TextBox)

If TESTER.Text = "TESTER" Then
     eArgs.IsValid = False
Else
     eArgs.IsValid = True
End If
End Sub
