Hi,

I have a Formview with a customvalidator tied to one of the textboxes. I am using the Server_validate method and it is firing twice!

int i =0;

protected void CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)

{

i=i+1;

if (i==1) { args.IsValid=true; } else {args.IsValid = false;}

}

adds two to the value! Any ideas on what is wrong?

Thanks,

Mo

I am having the same problem. Inside a detailsview control, I have the following CustomValidator, and it's OnServerValidate handler fires twice. No explicit page validate called or anything unusual.

Thanks.
