error-message

Hello, I use ASP.NET and have a Button and a CustomValidator, which has to validate the button.

<asp:Button ID="saveButton" runat="server" OnClick="SaveButton_Click" Text="Speichern"
    CausesValidation="true"/>
<asp:CustomValidator runat="server" ID="saveCValidator" Display="Static"
    OnServerValidate="EditPriceCValidator_ServerValidate"   
    ControlToValidate="saveButton" ErrorMessage="">

When loading the page, I receive the error message:

"Control 'saveButton' referenced by the ControlToValidate property of 'saveCValidator' cannot be validated."

What might be the problem? I searched on the net, but this didn´t help much.
