Hi everyone,

I noticed that customevalidator won't work with empty fields. But I do not
want to put in another requiredfieldvalidator

Any workarounds?

I've tried

if args.Text.trim.length() = 0 then
args.isvalid = false
exit sub
end if

The ValidateEmptyText property, new in ASP.NET 2.0, fixes an issue
with CustomValidator. In ASP.NET 1.0 custom validation would not fire
if the text of the ControlToValidate was empty. You can set this
property to true to cause custom validation to occur for empty input
values.

For .NET 1.0 look at this thread
http://groups.google.com/group/micr...read/thread/1438177b1f3ee8fe/be36fdc5dba253cc
 
if this is javascript code.

if args.Text.trim.length() = 0 then
args.isvalid = false
exit sub
end if


then make sure you properties are correct.

js is case sensitive.

args.IsValid = false

is the correct way I think, but double check my case.

Howdy,

You have to set ValidateEmptyText property to true

<asp:CustomValidator runat="server" ID="cv" ValidateEmptyText="true"/>
