Hello,


Use the following code to get refernce to TextBox in EditForm in ServerValidate() event.

Code:

    protected void custmValState_ServerValidate(object sender, ServerValidateEventArgs e)
    {

        CustomValidator validator = (CustomValidator)sender;
        GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)validator.NamingContainer;
        TextBox txtBox = (TextBox)editItem.FindControl("txtState");
        string str = txtBox.Text;
           //  your code
}
