ASP.NET Validation server side

Question

I have an ASP.NET webform which I want to validate Client-Side and Server-Side, using the same validation controls. I can't seem to find the solution for this - the client validation works great, but when I disable javascript - It ignores the validation.

Help would much be appreciated.

Explicitly call Page.Validate() on the server side.

Or the overloaded Page.Validate(string) to target one of your validation groups.

Update:

I forgot, after you run Validate(..), check the Page.IsValid property - it's up to you to stop the page from submitting if this property == false.
