How ValidationSummary works

[marc]

I am having trouble with the ValidationSummary not getting all of the error
messages from the validators on my page. Can anyone tell me how the
ValidationSummary control works behind the scenes? I would like to know how
it gathers the error messages so I can troubleshoot this.

Thanks

Hi,

it goes through Page.Validators collection at Render phase gathering the
error messages of all failed validators. Note that its MessageBox (alert
window) functionality works only when client-side validation is supported
(if validator works only at server-side and fails, it won't raise
client-side alert on that case)

What type of problem you have? Post some sample to demonstrate.
