Combine funtionality of Requirefield Validator and Compare Validator

Hello there,

I have a textbox which needs to be checked for two things.
1) Whether its empty
2) For its datatype.(integer)

At the moment am using both compare and required field validators to do this. Can i combine this into one using custom validator or something

Thanks,
CPM

            else

This is what am doing at the moment,

<asp:textbox id="tbAddAmount" runat="server" cssclass="editbox" columns="10" maxlength="20" />

<asp:requiredfieldvalidator id="rfvAmount" runat="server" text="*" errormessage="Enter valid Amount"  controltovalidate="tbAddAmount" Display="Dynamic" validationgroup="vgLumpSum" />

<asp:comparevalidator  id="cvAmount" runat="server" text="*" operator="DataTypeCheck" type="Integer" errormessage="Enter valid Amount"  controltovalidate="tbAddAmount" Display="Dynamic" validationgroup="vgLumpSum" />

function customvalidate(sender, args)
        {
            if(document.getElementById('txtnum').value != "")

            }
            
          args.IsValid = true;
        }

function isNumeric(strValidate)
    {
        var blnResult = true;
        var strNumber = new String(strValidate);
        var i;
        for(i=0;i<strNumber.length;i++)
        {
            //alert(isNaN(strNumber.substr(i,1));
            if(isNaN(strNumber.substr(i,1)))
