Custom Validator in a Composite Control not firing

I am badly stuck in middle of project with this issue. Googled a lot but not getting a solution.

My objective is to create a composite control with a label, textbox, two required field validator and a custom validator. My custom control code is as follows:-

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace AFGISServerControl
{
    [ToolboxData("<{0}:ValidatorTextBox runat="\""server\"> </{0}:ValidatorTextBox>")]
    public class ValidatorTextBox : CompositeControl
    {
        private TextBox InputTextBox;
        private Label InputLabel;
        private RequiredFieldValidator RequiredValidator1;
        private RequiredFieldValidator RequiredValidator2;
        private CustomValidator cv;
        private static readonly object EventValidateKey = new object();

        protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
        {
            EnsureChildControls();
            base.OnLoad(e);
        }
        protected override void CreateChildControls()
        {
            Controls.Clear();
            InputTextBox = new TextBox();
            InputLabel = new Label();
            InputTextBox.ID = "inputTextBox";
            //InputTextBox.AutoPostBack = true;

            RequiredValidator1 = new RequiredFieldValidator();
            RequiredValidator1.ID = this.ID + "_RFV1";
            RequiredValidator1.ControlToValidate = InputTextBox.ID;
            RequiredValidator1.ValidationGroup = string.Empty;
            RequiredValidator1.Display = ValidatorDisplay.Dynamic;
            RequiredValidator1.ErrorMessage = Caption.ToString() + " is mandatory";

            RequiredValidator2 = new RequiredFieldValidator();
            RequiredValidator2.ID = this.ID + "_RFV2";
            RequiredValidator2.ControlToValidate = InputTextBox.ID;
            RequiredValidator2.Display = ValidatorDisplay.Dynamic;
            RequiredValidator2.ErrorMessage = Caption.ToString() + " is mandatory";

            cv = new CustomValidator();
            cv.ID = this.ID + "_CV";
            cv.ControlToValidate = InputTextBox.ID;
            cv.SetFocusOnError = true;
            cv.Display = ValidatorDisplay.Dynamic;
            cv.ErrorMessage = this.CustomErrorMessage;
            cv.ValidateEmptyText = true;
            cv.ServerValidate += new System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventHandler(this.cv_ServerValidate);

            this.Controls.Add(InputLabel);
            this.Controls.Add(InputTextBox);
            this.Controls.Add(RequiredValidator1);
            this.Controls.Add(RequiredValidator2);
            this.Controls.Add(cv);
        }

            cv.RenderControl(writer);
        }        
    }
}

My aspx code is

    <cc1:ValidatorTextBox ID="ValidatorTextBox1" runat="server" Caption="Service No"
        CustomErrorMessage="Not Valid" ValidationGroup="test" 
        OnValidate="CVText" />
    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />

aspx.cs

The specific issue faced are

• Code behind method for "onvalidate" event is not being fired
• Required field validator error message is displaying only "is mandatory", the caption is not prefixed.

I will be greatful for the advice.

After breaking head, i changed the whole way of going about with this control. Went ahead with the useage of ivalidator. Thats quite an efficient way.
