CustomValidator not stopping button action

[Programmer99]

I have a customvalidaor that seems to be working and displaying an error message when I click an "Add" button but the code still runs that the "Add" button calls. How do I get the customvalidator to not run the code when I set args.IsValid = False?

please post your add button click and validation code

<asp:Button id="btnLoanCertProfileAdd" onclick="AddLoanCertProfile" runat="server" Width="35px"

<asp:CustomValidator id="ctvNewProfileName" CssClass="ErrorMsg" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtLoanCertProfileName"
Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="Profile Already Exists">*</asp:CustomValidator>


Private Sub ctvNewProfileName_ServerValidate(ByVal source As System.Object, ByVal args As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventArgs) Handles ctvNewProfileName.ServerValidate

args.IsValid = False

End Sub


Sub AddLoanCertProfile(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

End Sub

I have another solution for you, I don´t use the custom validator, when I need do something like that y make a function (functionVal) to validate the values in the form and i returned true or false. And in the vb i add this line in the Page_Load Method

Me.ImageButton.Attributes.Add("OnClick","if (!functionVal() return false;")

I would still like to use the CustomValidator because I use many other validators such as RegularExpressionValidator and RequiredFieldValidator. They work perfect so I would like to figure out what is wrong with my CustomValidator.

I need to see the code of the subs to be able to help you.
