costum validator problem

[RTT]

It's my first time i want to write a cotum validator but it doesn't seem to

work. In de page i've put this validator:

<asp:CustomValidator id="CVFBeginDate"

OnServerValidate="CVFBeginDate_ServerValidate" runat="server"

ErrorMessage="Please fill in a valid date as startdate"

ControlToValidate="TxtBeginDate">*</asp:CustomValidator>

 

in de codebehindpage i have created this sub:

Protected Sub CVFBeginDate_ServerValidate(ByVal source As System.Object,

ByVal args As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventArgs) Handles

CVFBeginDate.ServerValidate

Try

tmp = args.Value.Split("/")

testDate = New Date(tmp(2).ToString(), tmp(1).ToString(),

tmp(0).ToString())

args.IsValid = True

Catch

args.IsValid = False

End Try

End Sub

 

 

it doesn't seem to work. do you have to put something special to the custom

validator?

You have to check for Page.IsValid, which will tell you if the result of executing the validation function was true or false
