The full code is pasted below. It looks scarily long, but it's pretty
simple. It is adapted from a sample code at MSDN.
If you run it, and check it out from your browser, you'll see:
CustomValidator ServerValidate Example
Enter an even number:
[_________________]
Zip: [______________]
[Validate!]
I want to check if the number is valid only if the zip is valid.
That's why I have
If vldZip.IsValid Then
'Check if the number entered is even.
End If
But, the number is checked even if the zip is invalid. Try "asdf" for
the Zip and 13 for the even number, and you'll see what I meant.
I don't understand this, my logic in the code seems to be correct.
Please help. Thanks a lot!
