I am using a custom validator on a web form. I am using the following code:

private void CheckRom()
        {
            int to = int.Parse(romToText.Text);
            int from = int.Parse(romFromText.Text);
            if (romCheck.Checked == true && romFromText.Text != null && romToText != null)
            {
                if (to < from)
                {
                    validateROM.ErrorMessage = "The TO amount must be Greater than the FROM amount!";
                    validateROM.IsValid = true;

                }
                else
                {
                    validateROM.IsValid = false;
                }
            }

However, when running the code, the validator never fires. Can anyone help with the code to make this happen?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi there,

AFAIK, you should have your validation function accept two parameters, and then set the second argument to true of false depending on your logic inside the function:

function CheckRom(oSrc, args)
{
if (someThing)
{
    // Valid
    args.IsValid = true;
}
else
{
    args.IsValid = false;
}
}

This also promotes reuse as you can use the same validation method for more than one control.

Cheers,

You can just use the return-statement in your vbscript rather than rewriting your code in javascript!

I just realized you were working on a server side method and not a client side JavaScript function.

For server side validation, try this:

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

}

Create a method with this signature (e.g. have it accept an object and a ServerValidateEventArgs).
Just as with my JavaScript example, set the IsValid property of the args argument to either true or false.

To make this work, hook up the ServerValidate of your CustomValidator to this method:

this.CustomValidator1.ServerValidate += new System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventHandl er(this.CustomValidator1_ServerValidate);

That should do the trick. If not, can you provide more detail about your current code?
