How will it know if the text in the textbox is valid?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a web form that has several asp.net validation controls on it. I have one textbox that is using a function to validate the textbox contents against a SQL server database. &nbsp; I have the coding complete but I want to use a validator control to indicate if the textbox contents passed or failed so that it becomes part of the page validation along with the other validation controls on the form.<br />
<br />
I tried setting the customvalidator.isvalid = false but it does not see to work.<br />
<br />
How can I do this?

Use custom validator in webform and server side code

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.

Web Applications

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
