Hi, I am adding a custom validator to the page programmatically on click of a button, then validating the page and checking the IsValid property of the page. but the IsValid property is always returning true. Please help. here is the code. I need to add custom validator dynamically to show validation messages from business object. I am setting the IsValid property of the custom validator to false, so I expect the IsValid property of the Page to return false as well after validation. can't understand what I am doing wrong here.
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var validator = new CustomValidator();
validator.IsValid = false;
validator.ErrorMessage = "The input is invalid";
validator.ValidationGroup = "vgCustom";
Page.Validators.Add(validator);
ValidationSummary1.ValidationGroup = "vgCustom";
Page.Validate("vgCustom");
Label1.Text = Page.IsValid ? "The Page is valid" : "The Page is Invalid";
}
and here is the HTML mark-up
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:ValidationSummary ID="ValidationSummary1" runat="server"/>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Validate" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
