can't get evaluationfunction attribute set correctly on CustomValidator

[TS]

i want to specify evalutionfunction for my custom validator control. i have
tried many ways to get this to work, but in the end, the evaluationfunction
attribute always gets rendered as the default
"CustomValidatorEvaluateFunction":

<span
id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentMainPlaceHolder_ApplicationContentMainPlaceHolder_cbC
lientSigned" evaluationfunction="CustomValidatorEvaluateFunction"
requiredfield="false" validatewhenempty="false" label="" validationGroup1
mustBeChecked="true" style="color:Red;display:none;"></span>

protected override void AddAttributesToRender(HtmlTextWriter writer){
base.AddAttributesToRender(writer); string x;
//this.ClientValidationFunction = "CheckBoxValidatorEvaluateIsValid";
//writer.AddAttribute("evaluationfunction",
"CheckBoxValidatorEvaluateIsValid", false);
Attributes.Add("evaluationfunction", "CheckBoxValidatorEvaluateIsValid");
writer.AddAttribute("mustBeChecked", MustBeChecked ? "true" : "false",
false);
}

how do i do this correctly? I have tried to also not override
AddAttributesToRender and instead in prerender just add these 2 attributes.
No matter what i do, evaluationfunction gets overwritten somewhere

what can i do?

 

[TS]

i found out that this is in the base class to my class (which is inherited
from customvalidator)
protected override void AddAttributesToRender(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter
writer)

{

/// TODO: Get rid of the Custom EvaluationFunction

Attributes.Remove("evaluationfunction");

Attributes["evaluationfunction"] = "CustomValidatorEvaluateFunction";

base.AddAttributesToRender(writer);

writer.AddAttribute("requiredfield", RequiredField.ToString().ToLower());

writer.AddAttribute("validatewhenempty",
ValidateEmptyText.ToString().ToLower());

writer.AddAttribute("label", Label);

writer.AddAttribute("validationGroup1", ValidationGroup1);

}

i tried the same remove() function as above in my overriden method but no
luck

They aren't written from Attributes collection but directly as expando
attribute on the derived, concrete validator implementation

protected override void AddAttributesToRender(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
base.AddAttributesToRender(writer);
if (base.RenderUplevel)
{
string controlId = this.ClientID;
HtmlTextWriter writer2 = base.EnableLegacyRendering ? writer : null;
base.AddExpandoAttribute(writer2, controlId, "evaluationfunction",
"CustomValidatorEvaluateIsValid", false);
if (this.ClientValidationFunction.Length > 0)
{
//client-side registration
}
}
}

AddExpandoAttribute is implemented as follows

internal static void AddExpandoAttribute(Control control, HtmlTextWriter
writer, string controlId, string attributeName, string attributeValue, bool
encode)
{
if (writer != null)
{
writer.AddAttribute(attributeName, attributeValue, encode);
}
else
{
control.Page.ClientScript.RegisterExpandoAttribute(control,
controlId, attributeName, attributeValue, encode);
}
}


so basically you could try registering the attribute with
control.Page.ClientScript.RegisterExpandoAttribute yourself.
