CustomValidator in Datagrid ItemTemplate


  I have a datagrid that has two item templates,
     1.) with a drop down list
     2.) with a textbox and CustomValidator

  On the postback I am iterating through the datagrid and ensuring that the text box is filled for certian selections in the drop down list.  
 
  When I find one that is in error I set the custom validator as such.
 
  validTest.ErrorMessage = "testing summary validator";
  validTest.IsValid = false;

  Unfortunately within the datagrid the validator does not appear "*" and the summary validator does not appear with the text.

   If I use a CustomValidator in the same fashion and same section of code that resides outside of the datagrid, the validator works as I expected.

  Anyone have any thoughts on this.  

  Thanks for the read.

  Thanks for the post.
 
  I will take a look later today when I have some time.  



     

  Thank you...

   Will do the trick...  I'll have to use a label next to the textbox, but I don't see any other alternatives.

   Works well and solves another issue that I had nagging me elsewhere.
