How do get the value in the JavaScript function identified in ClientValidationFunction property that was entered in the control that was identified in the ControlToValidate property of a asp:CustomValidator control?

    //want to get value of MyControl    
}

<asp:CustomValidator 
    ID="cvAlarmedLocationAddress" 
    runat="server" 
    ControlToValidate="MyControl" 
    ClientValidationFunction="MyValidateFunction" 
    Text="" 
/>

Check the value of the args.Value property in your javascript. Here is a C# example from the MSDN library:
