I want to make sure that the SelectedDate property of the Calendar control
is later than the current date or that a certain checkbox is selected. I
tried to use a CustomValidator control with the following code:

Private Sub validTimeFrame_ServerValidate(ByVal source As System.Object,
ByVal args As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventArgs) Handles
validTimeFrame.ServerValidate

If chkUnknown.Checked OrElse calTimeFrame.SelectedDate >= Date.Today Then

args.IsValid = True

Else

args.IsValid = False

End If

End Sub


As you can see, I check to see if chkUnknown is checked or if
calTimeFrame.SelectedDate>= Date.Today. If either one is true, then I assign
True to the IsValid property, otherwise I assign it a value of false.
However, when I test the page it brings up the following error:

[HttpException (0x80004005): Control 'calTimeFrame' referenced by the
ControlToValidate property of 'validTimeFrame' cannot be validated.]
System.Web.UI.WebControls.BaseValidator.CheckContr olValidationProperty(String
name, String propertyName)
System.Web.UI.WebControls.CustomValidator.ControlP ropertiesValid()
System.Web.UI.WebControls.BaseValidator.get_Proper tiesValid()
System.Web.UI.WebControls.BaseValidator.Render(Htm lTextWriter writer)

System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlForm.Render(HtmlTex tWriter output)
System.Web.UI.Control.RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter writer)
System.Web.UI.Control.RenderChildren(HtmlTextWrite r writer)
System.Web.UI.Control.Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
System.Web.UI.Control.RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter writer)
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain()

Because this tells me nothing more than that the control cannot be
validated, I do not know where to start. Any ideas? Thanks.

With a CustomValidator you don't need to assign the ControlToValidate property.
