Custom Validator in DataGrid EditItem

[wsmall73]

I am trying to use a custom validator inside of a Datagrid...(forgive me I am going off of memory here)- no client side javasript.

<asp:CustomValidator id=&quot;cv_categories&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; CommandName=&quot;ServerValidate&quot;> </asp:CustomValidator>


cs-

public void ServerValidate(object Send, etc args)
{
args.IsValid=false;
}

It is firing the method and setting args.IsValid to false but still allows the user to update and return from the edititem event (the undesired result). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated..

Are you checking if Page.IsValid when you run the update in that event handler?

That should be the first thing you check, and then just abort unceremoniously if (!IsValid)

Thanks Paul... that's exactly what I was missing... thought the validation summary would do this for me (wrong assumption obviously)
