What variable are you trying to pass into it?  Where is it coming from?

Actually i like to pass the ID of textbox as parameter

as the customvalidator functions uses same function most of the textbox

Hi hismightiness,

CType(source, CustomValidator).ControlToValidate will return ( in string ) the id of the control you want to validate
if you want to search for this control , just type

Page.FindControl (  CType(source, CustomValidator).ControlToValidate )

My quesyion is what parameters to be passed for the function checkValid


Sub checkValid(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As ServerValidateEventArgs)

end sub

Default checkValid() function  passes the parameters for  Object and ServerValidateEventArgs



if i add new new parameter like

Sub checkValid(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As ServerValidateEventArgs,Byval controlID as string)

end sub

then

OnServerValidate="checkValid('title')" doest work

@mmarinov ur comment might help but
apart from control ID to validate i have to pass the maximum length for that textbox as parameter.
 which can't be retrieved in function without passing as parameter

DOT_NET,

sorry, but i did not read your question carefully
you can not set a parameter in the way you want, BUT
as i understand your question correclty - you want to use one custom validator to validate more than one controls - correct ?
if yes you have to use

customValidator1.ControlToValidate = "textbox1" and the textbox1 should be put in some conditions
the same conditions that will determine which id you want to pass like in the way you wanted

If you want to use the same server-side function, you'd simply assign the same ServerValidateEventHandler. You DO NOT need a custom implementation for this:

   C#
this.CustomValidator1.ServerValidate += new System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventHandler(this.checkValid);
this.CustomValidator2.ServerValidate += new System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventHandler(this.checkValid);

   VB.NET
AddHandler CustomValidator1.ServerValidate, checkValid
AddHandler CustomValidator2.ServerValidate, checkValid

PS- You'll want to assign the server-side event handlers in the OnInit event handler of the page.
