Below is a cut-and-paste code example that runs. It demonstrates some
results which confuse me.
It uses a DataGrid to make a table with 12 rows, each containing a
TextBox and a CustomValidator . When a textbox is populated, the
validator should write out the index of the row that triggered it. And
it does--twice.
e.g. If you type something into the first row, you see "0 0." If you
type something into the first and third rows, you see "0 2 0 2." I
would only expect to see one set of results. (I only /want/ one set of
results.) Can anyone explain why I'm seeing /two/?
<%@ page language="vb" runat="server" Debug="true"%>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(sende r as Object, e as EventArgs)
If ( IsPostBack ) Then
Validate()
Else
Dim numArray(12) As Integer
OurDataGrid.Dat aSource = numArray
OurDataGrid.Dat aBind()
End If
End Sub
Sub WriteIndex(sour ce as Object, value as ServerValidateE ventArgs)
Response.Write( source.Parent.P arent.ItemIndex & "<br>")
End Sub
</script>

Try stepping through it in the debugger. I bet you'll see that a
breakpoint set in WriteIndex will fire before a breakpoint set at
Validate() in your PageLoad.
As in, the custom validator will fire all by itself. You've instructed
it to fire again in your pageLoad, so you're seeing its results twice.
Good luck!

Just a clarification.
The Button, LinkButton and ImageButton controls all automatically call
Page.Validate() for you when their CausesValidatio n property is true (which
is the default). They call it after Page_Load and immediately before calling
your Click event handler.
As you know from the answer below, by adding another call to Validate in
Page_Load, it is called twice. As a general rule, try to avoid calling
Validate in Page_Load. If CausesValidatio n is false, you should call it in
your Click post back event handler before saving data.
ALWAYS remember to check Page.IsValid is true in Click before saving.

Hi,

It make no sense, both pairs look exactly the same to me.
The only difference is that the second...

This is how you use the customvalidator control in any INamingContainer
interface control (Datagrid, DataList, DataRepeater, etc).
1. In the ItemTemplate, place your customvalidator
2. Set the OnServerValidate property of the customvalidator
3. Get reference to the Data Item object
(For DataList is DataListItem, for DataGrid its DataGridItem)
4. Get reference to any controls needed for validation
5. Perform the validation
