Is there a way to add more than one ControlToValidate to my RegularExpressionValidator?

I have two textboxes for postcode and I want to add the same RegularExpressionValidator to both.

Currently I have one for each box but if they are both wrong it shows up two error messages but I only want the user to see one.

Here’s my RegularExpressionValidator

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator CssClass="errorpopup" Display="Dynamic" ID="rvpPostCodeZone" validationgroup="tbEditEmailCorr" runat="server" ErrorMessage="<strong>Please enter a valid post code.</strong>" ControlToValidate="tbEditPostCodeZone"  ValidationExpression="^[0-9a-zA-Z' ']{3,}$" SetFocusOnError="true" />

Thanks

    You can use a CustomValidator, and perform the regex match server-side (and also on the client-side as well if you want). In the validation function(s) for this validator, check both controls.
