I posted a similar post regarding problems with VS.NET
design mode. I fixed that problem (with much thanks to
this newsgroup) but now I have a second problem.
I have created a class called BasePage that inherits from
System.Web.UI.P age so that I can implement a "template"
for all pages in an app. My BasePage class is in a class
library project and there is also a web app in the same
solution that has a project reference back to the class
library.
When I create a new web form in VS.NET, I simply change
the code behind class to inherit from BasePage instead of
System.Web.UI.P age.
Everything works great in most cases: controls on the web
form render correctly and maintain thier state as they
should. The problem is that validation controls don't work
at all. It is as if they don't exist, it just skips the
validation all together. If I modify my code behind so it
doesn't inherit from BasePage, but from System.Web.UI.P age
directly, the validation works fine.
By adding a layer of inheritance, what is throwing this
off?
Is there something I need to add to my BasePage class?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Here is the (simplified) code from my BasePage.cs:
*************** *************** *************** ************
using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.H tmlControls;
using System.Web.UI.W ebControls;

{
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Labe l
lblPgTitle;
public PageUtilities pgUtil = new
PageUtilities() ;
public string PgTitle
{
get
{
return ViewState
["PgTitle"] == null ? string.Empty : (string) ViewState
["MsgPgTitle "];
}
set
{
ViewState["PgTitle"] =
value;
lblPgTitle.Text = value;
}
}
protected override void OnInit
(System.EventAr gs e)
{
BuildPage( GenerateHtmlFor m() );
this.DataBind() ;
ddRelTasks.Attr ibutes.Add
("onChange", "RelTask(); ");
base.OnInit(e);
}
private HtmlForm GenerateHtmlFor m()
{
HtmlForm form = new HtmlForm();
form.ID = "Form1";
AddControlsFrom DerivedPage(for m);
return form;
}
private void AddControlsFrom DerivedPage
(HtmlForm form)
{
int count = this.Controls.C ount;
for( int i = 0; i<count; ++i )
{
System.Web.UI.C ontrol
ctrl = this.Controls[0];
form.Controls.A dd( ctrl );
this.Controls.R emove(
ctrl );
}
}
private void BuildPage( HtmlForm form )
{
this.Controls.A ddAt( 0, new
LiteralControl( @"
<html>
<head>
<title>MyPage </title>
<link
rel='stylesheet ' href='/def/inc_style.css' type='text/css'>
</head>
<body>"));
this.Controls.A dd( form );
form.Controls.A ddAt(1, new
LiteralControl( @"
<TABLE WIDTH='1000'
BORDER='1' CELLPADDING='0' CELLSPACING='0' BGCOLOR='white'
ID='Table1'>
<TBODY>

CELLSPACING='0' ID='Table2' BGCOLOR='white' >

lblPgTitle = new Label();
form.Controls.A ddAt(8,
lblPgTitle );
form.Controls.A ddAt
(form.Controls. Count, new LiteralControl( @"

this.Controls.A dd(new

}
}
}
