Manual Validate() call always returns IsValid=true

[Jon Davis]

This is always returning True, even when fields are empty. Why?


private bool ValidatePageOne() {
bool ret = true;
foreach (Control ctrl in PageOnePanel.Controls) {
if (ctrl.GetType().IsSubclassOf(typeof(BaseValidator))) {
((BaseValidator)ctrl).Validate();
if (!((BaseValidator)ctrl).IsValid)
ret = false;
}
}
return ret;
}

I should note:

Before doing this manually (using the regular page validation instead) it worked fine. Also, I am stepping through the code and the Validator controls are being found and Validate() is being run. Some of these are RequiredFieldValidators. But the textboxes they are associated with are empty, and yet IsValid is returning True! Why?
