I am trying to utilize a CustomValidator using the keyword "OnServerValidate"
Here is where I have it setup in my .aspx file:
<div class="label">
<div><label for="parentemail1">Email Address</label></div>
<div><asp:TextBox ID="parentemail1" runat="server" MaxLength="40" Columns="40"></asp:TextBox></div>
<asp:CustomValidator id="ParentEmail1Required"
ControlToValidate="parentemail1"
Display="Dynamic"
ErrorMessage="Required"
ValidateEmptyText="true"
OnServerValidate="ServerValidator"
runat="server"/>
</div>
and here is the C# code behind method for OnServerValidate:
protected void ServerValidator(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
args.IsValid = false;
}
Am I missing something, shouldn't the CustomValidator fire when the form is submitted?
I've read through a bunch of posts and even tried this with a RequiredFieldValidator on the same control but no luck. I have this working with ClientValidationFunction but I want to access the properties in the code behind instead of the DOM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
